Thanks so much! This is such a lovely comment to get, I really appreciate it.
There's so many short horror games I've enjoyed that are much more based in visuals or exploring virtual spaces, and I wanted to create a similar feeling with just text. I think interactive narrative in particular is a good way to trap the player in the head of a very particular, unpleasant character, similar to what you might get from a Sayaka Murata or Tony Tulathimutte story.
And beyond being inspired by my own slowly but surely thinning hairline, I just thought it would be fun to take the piss out of the way the manosphere convinces men that everything in their lives would be perfect, if only they could just meet some impossible physical standard.
