Flower symbolism, trapped with someone, doomed by the narrative

Wow, I never thought a parasite would feel sympathy for its host. This game is beautifully written and I love the art. It has a gorgeous sketchy look that I'm a big fan of!
This game is AMAZING. Your storytelling is so effective, and I loved the twist you took on the themes. The art is unique and works so well with the narrative you crafted. Amazing work!
Beautiful beautiful game! I loved the writing and how the flower theme was incorporated. Spent some time thinking of ways to interpret the story and who/what Phen might represent. Overall just very interesting narrative! And pretty piano playing as well :3
FYI- it appears there's something wrong with your game build. There's no .exe - did you do the "Build Distributions" action in the Renpy launcher before uploading?
I'm still gonna try to play it (I dropped your folder into my own Renpy launcher folder and it did launch the game) but I wanted to let you know.
