this was lovely!! 🫶 really hits home as someone who's struggled with depression & suicidal thoughts. the visuals are gorgeous, and the writing is stellar-- it scratches an indescribable itch for me. sad that both endings are so bleak :(
"suicide is never the answer" and "it gets better" and the like sound like white noise after a while, but they're true! "today sucks! tomorrow might not! only way to find out! be there!"
the religious elements are also super... (i mean this in a positive way!! i don't have a good adjective here...) well-written, and interesting to read, and relatable, i guess? i don't think there's one singular word that encompasses all of that, lol.
fave part was "The foundational elements that the world is built upon are... smoke, metal, plastic, meat... and a fifth thing... what is the fifth thing?" i don't know why it's my fave, but it is!
"The more lucid and overwhelming one's belief in Heaven, the greater the temptation to get it over with, this business of life."
As a Christian who fully believes in God, this line stood out to me the most. It is painfully true. Suicide is not the answer however, if that's what was being implied; we all have a purpose here. We are all loved. You are loved.
Really neat little experience, this game. Very surreal.
i played this with a friend and it struck us both it feels like a headache that is always there but almost seems like a friend we loved the music it's such a physical experience thank you
This game was incredible! The visuals and story touch the heart. Everything came together so well, the audio, the art, the writing (which was very impressive), to make a memorable experience.
Very intriguing game. I like the visuals going on in this game. The NPCs are definitely one of the Yume Nikki inspirations you said. I like the side art of the character/s going in real world, especially when they are in a situation. There's some symbolisms I guess going on, and I think, despite the shortness of the game, I still think the game is kind of very deep enough and could still take time for me to understand further. I will still check the other ending ofc. Overall, very mysterious and, again, intriguing game. I liked it and enjoyed my time, and had number of emotions.

Heyo, sorry for late reply! No problem! I almost forgot to report about that. I replayed the game, and it's as smooth as butter.
