What a cool interpretation of noise. I could absolutely relate to the endless onslaught of distractions and inconveniences that are required to simply exist while trying to create something. The self-doubt, second-guessing, life-stresses.. all of that felt so damn real I started to get stressed out lol
I really loved how different the two routes were! I think it’s important to play both, together they show just how important / impactful those in-between times can be when it comes to what actually ends up on the page at the end. To that point, getting to see the contest story changing was just so cool to see and really sold the message.
You did a great job on all of the descriptions and sensory details, they both made me feel very anxious at times and very relaxed and joyful at others. The characters felt very real and I enjoyed all of their banter a lot.
The program visuals and UI changes were really awesome, and it was nice to see clippy again lol
