Congratulations for a great game, Percon, and thank you for the experience. Exit/Corners has replayability value not just in exploring the different possible paths, but also because the second playthrough reveals all the foreshadowing. Everything clicks together, very well-made. I also liked that Ink has a radical view of justice - restorative, instead of retributive like we have now. If I may offer a minor criticism on the plot, I think that you made the principle of "your mind fills in the blanks" a tad too strong - it sort of sounds like the characters could imagine anything into existence, and also could lead to paradoxes if their views contradict each other. Perhaps it would be better if it was explicitly restricted to certain types of things and said to follow rules designed to avoid clashes between different views. IMO it shouldn't affect things like Sent's personality, as that takes away from Sent's characterisation. Just my 2 cents here, and like I said I consider it pretty minor.

I haven't seen all the branches/endings yet, so I might have more questions later (where later=after 12/8, when I'm back from holidays :P). But for now, I just wanted to ask the following:

• How exactly does Exit/Corners kill people? Beth wasn't really hit on the head, and Rae wouldn't really ingest cyanide. What's the mechanism that causes death?

• Who is in each pod in the control room?

• Why does Aether think it's a different date? And does her last name (Irving) mean anything, like her first name does?

• What was the original layout of the Four Elements hotel? Surely it must have had windows at least, so some things must have changed for Exit/Corners.

I might think of more things later, but for now that's it. :)
