All That We Could Ever Be
ATWCEB was originally released on December 31 2013. This is a (mostly) unchanged version.
From the original description:
All That We Could Ever Be (formerly titled 'Reins') is about the climactic reunion at the end of a reincarnation romance.
ATWCEB is more of a word labyrinth than a game or a story; it's a wandering through the easily-distracted mind of something that's been alive for a very, very long time.
There are stories hidden here. Conversations. Confessions. Doubts, and certainties, and a certain sense of finality.
ATWCEB was featured in Volume 1.3 of the Inky Path journal.

Thanks for making this game, it's my favourite text-based narrative game! I find it thought provoking, I played it a few years ago and I regularly think about it.
As someone who wholeheartedly believes in reincarnation (and believes in something like fate only somewhat hopefully) the endings in this are beautifully done. And I've got to say I love that you incorporated a choice - and a tough one - instead of having it all work towards one ending, yet still maintained this strong current of fate. Who says fate is just a straight path we walk on, instead of a branching river. Who says fate determines what we do, instead of what we do determining fate? Rivers change the landscapes around them after all. Anyways, I'm rambling. AMAZING job, this and your other work all have incredible thought and skill put into them.
Thank you for your comment! It is very lovely and means a lot. I'm glad my game resonated with you💕
