First of all, a bit of technical advice. The way the game launches now, some of the links may be cut off (for example, on PC I only see one link on the very first screen – good thing it's the one that moves the story forward). To fix this, in Project settings, under „Embed options” you should select „Click to launch in fullscreen”. You should also check the „Enable scrollbars” box below, so that you can scroll on devices with smaller screens.
Now, let's get to the game itself. I'm normally not a fan of the „each page has two choices and one of them kills you” type of interactive stories, but your game is short enough that it didn't really bother me (the arrows that let you reverse your choices also helped). Gameplay-wise it was simple, but functional. I didn't find any bugs. The story was quite interesting, and I liked how some things were being foreshadowed early on (people on the pier when you go running etc.). I found some of the choices confusing – for example the very last one; to me „Back to the…” and „Jump to the...” were basically the same thing, but they led to radically different outcomes?
A small note: at one point, the story changes from second to first person („Next to me, a man was still sleeping”) – probably an oversight from an earlier version?

I can't find the conditions to go to next scene., but this game is really poetic.
