Thanks so much for taking the time to check out the game and leave a comment :3
I'm glad you enjoyed it, but at the same time, I'm sorry to hear you've been through similar stuff cos I wouldn't wish that on anyone >.< It must be extremely scary and really tough to go through in general!
But yeah, it was attending a theatrical performance about capgras syndrome that inspired me to make this bitesize game! :D
Before the performance, I'd never heard of it, but I've always been fascinated by different aspects of psychology and the human mind, so I figured it would be an interesting subject to attempt to explore.
Since this game is pretty old now and one of the first games I ever made, looking back on it, I do wonder if it's entirely appropriate for the current day >.< It's hard to tell whether it could be considered exploitative of a condition for the purpose of entertainment. I don't know... but I'm relieved that you found enjoyment in the game rather than it having a negative impact on you :3
I just worry when it comes to horror as a genre in general whether or not I might accidentally hurt someone or trigger them. Cos back when I started making games, trigger warnings and things weren't quite as prevalent as they are today (man, that makes me feel old >.<), so I guess in some of my older stuff, the warnings aren't as detailed as they could be.
Anyways, I will shut up because I ramble too much x3 I'm glad to hear that you're doing better mentally now at least :3 That's the main thing!
While I may not have personal experience with capgras syndrome, I've got a lot of past trauma that I carry with me, and which undoubtedly still has an impact on me even now >.< Therapy is ongoing though, so, with any luck, someday I'll be able to say that I'm also doing a bit better in that department x3
