thank you so much!! i used to love those dating sim flash games haha they made up a big part of my childhood, esp pacthesis games (if you know of her). i feel like this prompt was just perfect for playing around with the fourth wall, so i’m glad you enjoyed it! i’m usually a fan of the surly, tsundere-y love interests but i totally agree, pam wrote harper in such an endearing way that i found myself quickly loving them as well hehe.

and i’m really happy to hear that the ending worked well for you! it absolutely is like that; i almost see it as a crab bucket situation, but i also felt that it was fitting for the nature of a game anyways. is a game still really a game if no one plays it? if its code remains dormant and untouched? but all that to say i loved your comment and kind words – and i’m especially looking forward to playing your entry!

Ah thank you so much! I'm so glad you like Harper. They're my favorite, but shhh don't tell the others ^-^ Something about a dreamer who will never pursue their dream is so fascinating to me... the quiet tragedy of it all hehe

I'm also so glad the weight of the ending came through! It's always hard to tell if the emotional weight of a scene will come across to the player, so it's such a relief to hear that it did. Thanks for playing!
