"Run."
"We don't have much time-- run!"
"Lucas?"
"Lucas, this isn't funny."
"Lucas!"
"I pushed her away and ran, because if she's not about to run, then I will."
Waking up with barely there memories, Lucas finds himself on the hospital, suffering head trauma and broken leg.
The past keeps on pulling him. He can understand the bursts of remembrance, but when even voices in his head warn him against remembering, he doesn't know what to do.
Everything he remembers sounds like events before a tragedy.

[size=150]Current Dilemma : Writing
Okay, so the thing on the title is sort of confusing. The novel has roughly 6 endings, but it's largely plot focused. Your choices involve choosing to remember or to not remember, and you even get to get depressed and eventually commit suicide!
Well, maybe not commit suicide, but you get depressed nonetheless.
The choices are pretty much remembering or not remembering. A simpler way to explain it:
Menu 1:
>Run
>Stay
Menu 2:
>Remember
>Don't remember
Menu3:
>I did... what? (Negative Reaction)
>I... I guess I can't change the past. (Positive Reaction)
If you choose Run, Remember, and Positive Reaction, your ending would be different than Run, Don't Remember and Positive Reaction. The same works for other combinations.

The main character is Lucas, fairly (overly) polite boy with withdrawn personality. His main interaction in the "Present" is with the doctor, Nathaniel Longworth and his wife, Charlotte. His mother makes a brief appearance in the beginning, although how she contributes to the plot won't show if you don't choose to remember, obviously.
The "Mind" is what's going on inside his head, while the "Past Plane" are his memories. There are several characters there. You don't get to know them, too, if you choose to run away, but you will interact with them. They just will appear as "???". Some are mainly-imaginary, although one important character does adapt the "???" name until the end. (if you choose to remember.)
The imaginary ones are Voice and Pri.
Regarding the endings, there are 2 "good", 2 "neutral", and 2 "bad". The good ones are where you end up accepting your past and move on, the neutrals where you... have undecided feelings and sometimes it feeds your nightmares, and the bad ones are where you end up dead go back to being depressed, repeating the story over and over again.
I have the overall idea of the story and am planning to start on the arts immediately after school ends. As I am a one-man (or one-girl, to be more precise) team, it might take a bit...
Nah, not really. I'm known to rush things to the end.
Critiques welcome. I will be updating this post tomorrow for even more details, but since the main theme of this is revealing, I need to sort what I can safely expose and what should remain hidden.
Script: 20%
CG: 3 / ???[/size]

It sounds pretty interesting! Not really much to add to that, except you might want to take some time to clear the concept up - just to make it easier to read. Look forward to hearing more about it.
