Spoilers here, too!!

I appreciate your feedback, both the positive and negative of it! I did the best I could with what I knew, so I appreciate an outside perspective on the matter.

Jack's personality was grounded in a type of alter I studied, but I do acknowledge it can seem like it's feeding into that harmful stereotype (which I also hate very much) when it's dramatized as it was. I understand your point, and I wish I had more time during development to properly express Jack's character in a way that didn't feel like he's only for being scary.

I wish none of the endings were upsetting, but I'm glad you found the game enjoyable, regardless! I made this game because I also consider it something very important to talk about. And if you consider it a good game, even though some of this input was hard to hear, I'm happy I could make something you found valuable!

It did seem like there was more to them in the bonus stuff log, so it is unfortunate how the ending came off. As I mentioned, I don't have a problem with that kind of alter, they are real and deserve to be represented too, I think the portrayal was mainly hurt by the smaller scale of the game. With an alter that only appears briefly, the player only gets to see the character at face value. Even the mentioned scene isn't necessarily unrealistic, mainly just the dramatization combined with existing stereotypes that hurt it. If one or the other wasn't there, it probably would have felt better. If the game continued after that event I am curious where it would have gone and if my opinion would change, but of course that is beyond the scope of the project.

I do think it was overall quite well researched, I appreciate the game and it had me smiling the whole way through. In fact, if you ever write another plural character or do more with this one and would like a second opinion, I would be open to helping out. Thanks for the reply!

I appreciate that offer! I'll remember it for future reference. And I really appreciate the time you took to play my game and give your genuine thoughts on it, too ❤️
