Thank you so much for your kind words! :D I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and its story, as well as the atmosphere of dread.
One of my favorite little things was changing the menu after getting a certain amount of endings. The cat's blank stare becoming an excited little grin, to show that it knows what it's doing and it's enjoying it -- the suffering it's putting the MC through. I always like seeing little touches like that in games and other media so I tried to place them throughout the game.
I'm glad you also liked the true ending and that it resonated with you and your experiences. I'm honored if it helped you feel even a little bit better.
Thank you so much for playing!
