Eggman5 allowed us to link to it on the first place, we are reproducing his post here. However, if you want to try the source to see if is there

No Mac dudes, srs
Not billed as a game, this is an 'interactive drama'. You are basically involved in a graphic novel, choosing your actions or choosing nothing the story trundles along and it's all very interesting. Basically you play the manager of a fasion house launching a stylish new range, it's probably a guaranteed smash, but you need money. Who to go to? The bank? Your wifes boss is a rich man and he has a job he needs doing, why not go to him instead? Still, she is spending a lot of time with him... Who's this new assistant anyway... Rawr...
First thing on the intresto-scale is the reading speed feature, this means that you have to react on the fly or dealing with the result of 'doing nothing', meaning that careful and contemplative mulling over any decision is not on the cards. This brand needs launching in five days and you need the money. The story has seemingly one billion branching story options, I've played through twice and i've had a totally different story, not just the ending (Deus Ex, ahem) but and entire 4/5s of the game is different. It may well repeat itself on the tenth play round, but for stuff that's free, this brother is not complaining.
Play it and see what you think.
If you think it's a bold step in favour of story over gameplay that only the indie scene have the freedome to do turn to page 252
If you think someone has just taken Choose Your Own Adventure kicking and screaming (it's struggle only makes it more of a turn on) into the new age turn to page crisps
