Spoiler Alert!

A short and impactful story, and also one of the best MayWolf entry this year. The story manages to be really creative with just one scene (and one* sprite). I love the interconnected use of ‘You’ and ‘I’, really gives a sense of not being in reality. The writing was amazing, giving enough room for me to keep up despite alternating between You/I and Jes,Bel/with their real counterparts.

For the presentation, the music is fine, though I don’t think it necessarily fits too well. Another thing, is the differing static audio intentional? I can barely hear the static from ‘Light’ even with max setting while ‘Bel’ and him are wayy louder than the rest. Also the last instance of Bel and Jez does not have that static, which I’d assume is Remy not being to differentiate between fake and real for that one second, though I’d love some type of clarification on that (maybe like one line asking are you real?) or sth idk. The shift between the spiraling to the sudden ‘Remy, I’m not real’ is sort of sudden, but it do be like that sometimes.

P.S I ran out of witty comments :(, I guess I’ll just become another one of those meat with nervous tissues.

Thank you for playing and everything you wrote <3

I'll write out the thought process over what you were wondering about:

The differing audio levels for the static is indeed (mosly) intentional. The Light's more subtle volume is as such due to being a part of Remi - barely noticeable as being 'off' to them. His is extremely loud, Remi's fear drowning out everything else. (Bel's is a little bit too loud though, unintentionally). 

And the absence of static for the part where they can't tell if the friends are real is because the friends are actually speaking, static being a representation for what it feels like to me when I 'hear' fake speech like this. Remi can't tell, but the absence is meant to hint to the player that it's different than before even before it's confirmed.
