Don't make me cry! :'D
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm glad to hear that you liked the game and its story.
I wanted to show how much abuse can feel so encompassing that it becomes normal to be hurt or belittled and made to walk on eggshells; to feel so tired of feeling unloved that you just ignore all the bad things and make excuses. Treating your efforts to survive the toxicity like a game. It really is like a neverending cycle of trying to make fine wine out of poisonous sludge. Because things aren't always that bad, it's so much easier to stay trapped. More than anything I wanted people who've been through it or are still going through it to know that they're not alone and that there's hope on the other side.
I'm honored that this game could be an inspiration for you. I wish you good luck while your working toward your degree!
And thank you for playing!
