This is... so beyond anything I have ever read, and I want so much more. I've sat on the outside of some of the topics written here, but I've never delved into it because it is so outside my own experience and I guess... never knew quite what to expect? Or if I could even enjoy it "properly" as someone who is very... I guess normie is the word that would describe me lmao. I don't have experience with any of the truly scary shit in real life, so reading about it in fiction... it feels like a whole other world. Especially since I can't even begin to guess how much is based in reality, and how much is based in intense fiction that is built upon that reality. It's scary to think about, but it still something that speaks to me.
I hope I can find more creators that write and create this sort of thing. I don't really know what to search or where to start, but I'm certain I can find it eventually. At a pace that I can handle, because as interesting as it is it can get overwhelming.
I haven't finished this quite yet, but I am very much invested in finishing it, I just had to take a break to think a bit. And to let the stuff settle, cause I know there is going to be a lot more, and I want to enjoy this, not get overwhelmed.
I kinda just... wanna say thank you to those who made this, and submitting this to the jam. I found this jam completely by accident, perusing it on a whim, and so coming across this was lucky for me! It also inspires me a lot... as an artist, and a writer. This whole jam has.
Edit: Returning to this after I finished the game and it was overwhelming... but it also got me out of my own head and feelings from past trauma enough to actually feel comfortable to tell my friends how much I love them. Cause I am scared to do that due to past trauma + losing people. I've been reminded of how important making sure the people I care about know I do, regardless of if we stay in each other's lives or if we move on.
Thank you, again.
