Secret 10560 is a game about a young girl and a person behind the window. That's all I can I say without revealing too much of the story. I've included more details of the story at the bottom of this post, but as it is an extremely short game it reveals some spoilers. If you want to know more without spoilers, you can beta test for me 8D.
I really need some input on the story, specifically how I wrote the main character, if I need more/less endings, what kind of music I should choose (it's currently without music because I have no clue what to use), etc. This will be the first game I've finished ever, so I'm a bit nervous.
I estimate that to get all 9 endings would take 10 minutes, 20 minutes at the most. It's a very short game, but there is an important meaning behind it that could be taken literally or figuratively.

Edit: More details on the story below. For those who don't want spoilers, basically this game is kind of slice of life, but at the same time it may freak you out. Player discretion advised for those who are scared easily.
The game is based off of a
DeviantartSecret of the same name , which means if that secret is to be believed, someone did actually go through the events in this game. If this was a normal slice of life VN, that would be nothing to worry about it, but this isn't a normal slice of life VN. There is a chance that the main character is never seen again.
The person behind the window writes sweet messages to the girl, but the girl knows nothing about the person. In the original DAsecret, the secretteller tells us he/she is in love with this person despite not knowing much about them. This puts him/her in a potentially dangerous spot.
My thoughts on the story:
Since the story was inspired by a DeviantartSecret and is not my original idea, I only have opinions on how you should view it, though you should ultimately decide for yourself how you want to view it.
It can be taken literally; it could really be about a girl dealing with someone leaving messages on her window at night. However, it could also be a metaphor for an online relationship. The story is fairly straightfoward if taken literally, though some explanation may be needed for if it's a metaphor.
The window symbolizes her computer, and the messages are online ( comments/posts/notes/pms/ims/etc). By reaching out to him, she puts her trust in him, to the point where she may give him sensitive information, such as where she lives. This puts her in a potentially dangerous situation, especially if the person has malicious intent.
