This is a beautiful game. It was so reassuring and felt great to be seen. Sometimes things are a little extra hard and that is ok.

Both painful and beautiful. It captures these familiar, difficult experiences and soothes you to challenge them. I've never played a game that brought me into a world so my own, and gave me exactly what I need to keep surviving that very world. The message resonates deeply enough that you'll gain a new peace with each replay.

Uhhh, to be honest, it was not about what I expected... But I very much identified with the events and the feelings you conveyed. A very simple and quick play that was well worth the experience, and it's wonderful to see other people creating and sharing their own internal experiences with the world! I hope to see more from you, but if it takes you a while that's totally okay. It's okay to be not okay.

Wonderfully written and flawlessly executed. A great peek into the minds of those struggling with acceptance of their personal identity, as well as those who struggle with their mental health, particularly in regard to the daily wars they have with themselves when it comes to even completing 'simple' tasks. Hope this is eventually viewed as a demo and that a longer version or additional chapters are released at a later date.

Very short, but to me it was very good. I felt understood.
