I really enjoyed this game. It feels so real and relatable, especially the way it shows how love can feel ordinary yet still stay strong through all the fights and quiet moments. Thank you for making this
I think that it is more about the looping cycles of dependency that are created in a toxic or exploitative relationship. I feel that Lauren (main character) is taking advantage of the dependency cycle that she has created and she is biding her time until David crawls back to her so that she can continue to use him for, basically, her own entertainment. I think the "quiet moments" are not a test of their love but a test of how successfully Lauren's years of manipulation have changed David's mind. I think that it is very clever to have the story take place in a lockdown, since this is an unfortunate reality of the COVID-19 lockdowns, wherein many people found themselves literally trapped with their abuser, or in toxic relationships that developed abusive tendencies. I do agree that it is a very real and relatable depiction of a toxic, manipulative relationship.
