Your games make me feel kind of awful... in a good way. I guess, in your games anyone can find something that can recall things from one's own experience. Thank you for that and keep it up.
Hey, I don't know when this was made. I don't know if you are still responding, or if you ever were, but, I just wanted to say that this game is... the first thing in a long time that makes me feel... i don't know, seen? heard? whatever. it makes me feel okay. I grew up with undiagnosed adhd, clinical depression, anxiety, and a whole heaping helping of anger issues. I was so mean. As a kid, and a teen. I was evil. I would say things and do things and treat people like objects. I was truly the worst person.
Now, I lay awake at night thinking about all the people I hurt. Luckily, I had a change of heart senior year (my parents finally let me go to therapy) and apologized to everyone. I actually made good with a lot of people. But as someone who knows what it's like to have people out there who still think of you as this seething container of poison and all things toxic, it's really nice to read these words about being allowed to grow.
Thanks for sharing this. It's... real cool? I don't know, sorry for being so wordy. Hope you feel seen or heard or okay or whatever some time soon too.
This reminds me of the first time I played the game "Emily is Away" when i was still in High School. Now I am only weeks away from entering University and discovered this game. The story really resonated with me and makes me think about my past decisions. Great job on creating such a moving piece!
so good! i wonder if it's beautiful because we can all relate to it at some point or beautiful because it explains such complicated emotions quite simply in form of interactive game story...gah, it's so good!!!
That was beautiful! This is one of those pieces that shows that no matter how simple the platform is, it can be used to create great things. I'm looking forward to see more projects like this and to create something cool too.
Shook to the core with the idea that painful memories are a necessary evil we must accept with totality.
I don't think I've experienced any form of media, ever, that echos the feelings of my time in high school and onward. Here's to our growth. Feel the need to thanks everyone involved in this, it's truly a gem of an experience.
Terrific game, I started tearing up at the end of the last scrolls. Forgetting the past isn't the answer, I agree. Choosing how you grow and build from your mistakes and memories sets yourself up for success going forward in anyone's life.
Wow this game encapsulates how I feel about high school. And as someone who has dipped his toes in making Bitsy games, the technical parts of this game are really well-put together. Nice work!!!

So soft and rough, all at once.
