You absolutely nailed the story for an abusive relationship. 

I don't know if it's intentional; but Geist comes across as a metaphor for the long-term effects and damage abuse can have on survivors. Sure, you can be out of that relationship, but the memories, the things they said/did still haunt you, control your life. 

This was amazing and Geist did a wonderful job of making me want to throw him through a wall for acting exactly like my past relationship. srs frick this guy!

Your story is a game about hope and healing. You don't have to live in fear and thank you for showing this. <3

OH gosh thank you so much 😭 That's extremely high praise!!! (I'll put my comments under a spoiler tag in case anyone comes down here without playing the game first):

That's a very interesting interpretation, and I don't think that I've seen anyone really focus on that facet of it (I'm really glad you did)! 🤔 I purposefully left Geist's existence a bit vague so that players could interpret him freely - however, I did base his behavior off of some "friendships" that I've had in the past (the term used very loosely 🤣) and how abusive partners seek to break down and isolate you to make you dependent on them. Your interpretation is very true also - after going through these experiences, their words can haunt you for a long time, shattering your self-confidence long after they're gone 🤔

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and that you saw your own experience in it too 🥹🥹🥹 I'm so touched!!! (And I'm glad you're out of that toxicity now 😭) Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts too, I loved reading them!
