As much as I like these types of games the inability to save progress before making choices really ruins my enjoyment. Sometimes the outcomes for certain choices are so unpredictable and unfair it's disheartening, and other times the hoops you have to jump through are so obscure it's amazing anyone ever finds the solution. Without a proper walkthrough for them (and I think there's not even a walkthrough for these on vdategames) you're usually better off just downloading it and looking at the image folder.
