such a great depiction of social anxiety and its insidiousness!! Geist was so damn Brutal it even made me wince at times.

made me think a lot tbh. I know it can be triggering to those with history with negative self-talk but for me, it made me realize that my own form of social anxiety is so insidious that my own brain bypasses the intrusive thoughts and just go straight to the feelings and beliefs (ex. feeling like a burden or that people don't care abt me even tho I KNOW in my head COGNITIVELY that I'm surrounded by people who loves me).

So what happened was it articulated the thought process behind those negative self-feelings I have which kinda helped me in addressing them.

tl;dr Gonna have fun telling people I had realizations about self-perception and insecurity from a YANDERE VN LMFAOO

(Thank you so much for playing, and I'm sorry for the late reply! I was taking a break from answering comments since I released another game recently and I was getting a bit overwhelmed...)

I'm really glad it was thought provoking 🤭 (of course I like any kind of feedback, but as a thinker myself I'm always especially touched when my games make people think!) I agree with you - of course the guttural fear that anxiety induces is bad, but the worse part is how it gradually shapes your beliefs about the world and about yourself 🤔 because fear can be fought - but when you start truly believing that you're better off alone, then that's a much more difficult enemy to resist.

🤭🤭🤭 I'm very touched, and I'll take that as a win!!! Thank you again for taking the time to leave your thoughts, I really loved reading them 🥹

ahhhh welcome & thank you for taking the time to reply!! <33

I found Mind Mind Mind through a completely different path that I didn't even realize that you were also the one who created The Perfect Woman!! :00 (which I played almost a month earlier? and also yapped abt)

omggg u put out such bangers 🫶🫶

Also just realized that my comment didn't talk abt Kalei. WHICH IS A CRIME so just wanted to mention that Kalei was SO CUTE. I want to lift him up and present him to the world like Simba. He was just so soft and wholesome and gentle w the MC the entire timee I'm soo?? Aurghh.

Such a great depiction of that popular kid who is also genuinely kind, sensitive, and considerate. I also just love how his insecurities were also depicted without it turning into an oppression Olympics w the MC and was given equal care and thought.
