A small update from us: we finished the game, and my wife has written about her reaction to the ending and some overall flaws:

I'm going to write a considerably longer article from a game designer's perspective one of these days, going into more analytical detail on what I thought didn't work and how it could (theoretically) be fixed. But that may well not be of interest to most of you, and my wife's article is both funnier and more to the point, so if you enjoyed the first one go ahead and read this.
