Speaking as the game’s writer: thank you. Putting out any story is a very vulnerable thing to do. I constantly downplay or criticize my work, because I am my own worst critic. Then, I worry if it’ll have the intended effect of emotionally moving people. I wanted to do this subject matter justice, as it means a lot to me. This is, I believe, the first time someone has said my work brought them to the verge of tears. So, thank you. I’m very grateful you enjoyed our game!
P.S. I was happy to see you comment in particular, as your submission is on my to-play list! I’m a big fan of dark fantasy/CRPGs (including your named inspirations), so I have a ton of admiration going in.
