Wow, this is quite an experience. As a self-denying person myself, this is extremely relatable. The dread during the middle session hits me especially strong and it's just that relastic. It's nice to see someone make this feeling and experience into a game so this alone deserves a lot of praise. Well done! 

For a little bit of criticism for the gameplay, I'd say it's a bit on the simple side, and I think having more variations of the sentences will make the game much challenging and enjoyable. Also, I am not sure if I am getting this wrongly, but "the work is terrible" and "you'll never amount to anything" maps to "school" and "work" respectively seems kind of wrong. Isn't it the other way around?

Anyway, this is a surprisingly nice entry in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

This game made my blood run cold, makes you think! It's was hard too! 

First impressions are important. The game page has a description and screenshots, that's good. The custom loading logo is nice, but after that I was stuck on a black screen for a while, and it made me wonder if the game was frozen. I think the menu logo would look good with jagged edges instead of a square. This applies to all the images. However, I still liked the style. The picture is blinking, is it intended or is it a lag? It's annoying. The button lacks animation, like all other buttons. Sometimes they don't click the first time, which is a bit annoying too.

Well, the game. The game over screen is pretty nice. Yeah, that's the first thing I saw pretty quickly. To get attention, it wouldn't hurt to let the player win easily a couple of times, gradually increase the difficulty. High difficulty at the start is a very common trouble. I didn't have time to read the text, so it took several attempts to understand what the game wanted from me before I knew it.

The game started lagging a lot in the second week. I figured out the logic, but it was hard because of the lagging buttons that didn't want to be pressed. For the third week I just randomly pressed buttons because I didn't understand the rules. Since this mechanic worked, I didn't bother to figure out how to play properly. The lags became extreme, sometimes I had to wait until the game unfroze.

What interested me the most were the dialogues. This is the best part of the game. But UI needs to be reworked, it's so-so now. This psychological simulator concept deserves better implementation. But I don't want to say that the game is bad. It's good enough to play it once. I got to the end.

Since you asked for a detailed review, I hope this didn't upset you.

Wholesome and educational game. Thank you!

Summary: Overall I like the direction that the narrative was going with. I could easily see the vision that was in place for the game and the theme. I liked the intensity of the choices picked. I felt the buildup pretty well in the game. The sound design was jarring in a good way to help with the atmosphere.

What could improve:

• Ui consistency within the game. 
• Better UI responsive feedback for indication of which is the active label for clarity.
• Sound setting slider. 
• Slow pacing of text and provide more calmer music. 

What I'd like to see post jam:

•  More takes on other perspectives.
• Intrusive thought words pop-up distractions. (immersive experience)
• Calendar system continuation.

Love the concept. Being able to do whatever I wanted on that final section really hit home. Great job being able to get an emotional hit out of such a short and simple game. Also, a very unique interpretation of the them. One thing I would have liked to see was some sort of positive feedback when the correct button was hit, because there were times when I would hit a button and (I assume), the old task was replaced with a new but identical task, so it wasn't immediately clear that it had been replaced at all - although I guess that just adds to the stress.
