wowww! this was such a great experience!! 

i really appreciated the VAs, especially the one by the time she got all the hearts (you know the one). The great VA for the Doctor too was the only reason I was able to tolerate listening to his sad out-of-touch rants where he keeps projecting his misery to people who don't give a shit!! (I pity his coworkers and boss for having to deal w him. especially that one time where a colleague just opted to ignore his uncalled for comments instead of confronting/putting him down and yet he still took great offense to that.)

BTW!! you wrote him so well, he exactly mirrors the very unfortunately real people poisoned by misogynist rhetoric (I even saw an extremely long comment below from someone who represented exactly that ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I wish I could read it so I can examine the way they think but the text didn't have a great VA to make consuming it more tolerable LOL)

Also! the writing!! I love how the disdain in the monologue just shines through and how it compares w the full hearts one. (example from the top of my head is "the stench of his cologne" turning into "the smell of his cologne" or the difference between the MC's thoughts when the Doctor finally declares that she's perfect).

I also really appreciate how it explores gender roles, dependence in abusive situations, and sentience (and how humans are technically programmed too, just in a more organic way by society and upbringing).


=====MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD=====


Also! you didn't have to go so hard w the art! Especially the moments where she kept flickering, and the horror-y negative value profile, the bruises on her neck, the eyes around her, the hands around her, the ghostly silhouette on the back, the tears, the one w her head cut-off. the "HELP" and "GET OUT" in the background Damn!! you can see just how miserable she is.

and the endings!! they really exemplified the themes that the entire story have been building on. don't want to spoil more than this but I was cheering at one of them, while the others were either bittersweet or just downright miserable. and i appreciated all of them!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, gosh, this is such a sweet and thoughtful comment ๐Ÿ˜ญ 

The VAs were ABSOLUTELY fantastic, some of the most talented people that I've worked with as a developer, I swear ๐Ÿ˜ญ I agree that Michael was fantastically hateable as the Doctor ๐Ÿ˜‚ You know the VA's good when they can make a detestable character tolerable ๐Ÿ˜‚

AHHH I'm glad!!! (Ah yes ๐Ÿ˜‚ I left that one up so that people know I'll just delete hateful things in my comments in the future but fghfg fiction imitates reality...) 

OHHH YOU NOTICED, I'm really touched ๐Ÿฅน I did try to add a lot of little details that changed between playthroughs, so I'm glad that it shone through ๐Ÿ™ And you articulated the themes beautifully - it's a pretty short game so I don't think I tackled them in much depth, but I'm glad that they were conveyed ๐Ÿฅน

=======SPOILERS========

AHHHH thank you!!! ๐Ÿฅน This is my first time doing a "chatsim-esque" game with such limited visuals so I put quite a bit of thought into how I could make the visuals a bit more "horrific"! I'm still growing as a developer but I'm glad that you liked the art ๐Ÿ˜ญ

And finally—the endings ๐Ÿฅฒ I'm so happy that you enjoyed them!! Initially I thought that maybe I should have added more but I thought that the three did a good job of passing on the ideas that I wanted to convey ๐Ÿค”

Again, thank you so much for playing and leaving me your thoughts - comments like these really give me a lot of motivation to continue on as a developer ๐Ÿฅฐ
