Love the style and rawness! The way the text is arranged is really engaging and makes the sincerity of the writing pack an extra bit of punch. Also very much appreciated all the ways the game helps you out during / after puzzles and challenges (checkpoints, hints, etc).

I really appreciate that!! I really liking combine spatial stuff (like kinda ee cummings style stuff) with a confessional vibe.

That's great to read. A lot of those hints came after receiving some really helpful feedback. I want the thing to feel like work at points, but I also want a good amount of people to want to finish the thing.

I also just played your game and really dug it!

I think you balanced the work-play aspects really well! My exact thought when finding hints and quality-of-life stuff was "this game wants you to finish it", and it was very rewarding when I did. I also think it's great that you made time to improve those aspects based on feedback, especially considering how packed with content the game is; that's a lot of work for a relatively short time frame.

Sorry for all the gushing but I really had a blast playing, haha. And thanks again for playing my game too!

Really cool and interesting! Would have preferred a few less picture pushing puzzles though.
