OH MY GOD, how did I only JUST notice you already put this up on Steam?? I'M SO EXCITED!!! It's crazy seeing how far you've come from those first few chapters to now being this close to releasing the whole thing! I can't wait to purchase the game when it releases!! >_<

SPOILERS below:
Just to expand just a tad further on our character's mother, Salyra (SORRY, I LOVE RANTING ABOUT HER), I'm wondering if you intentionally wrote her as narcissistic, because the more I read her scenes, the more her narcissistic tendencies stand out.

This only came to me because I was talking (yapping, actually) to my friend about this story a few days ago in hopes it'd get her into IFs, and since she studies psychology, she pointed out that the mother's behavior seems a bit narcissistic.

I think it's actually very interesting if you had written it intentionally because she, deep down, seems to be trying her best in her own twisted way.

Anyways, I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I ADORE your writing. This IF is slowly torturing me... It's got me on chokehold. Story pin image

Thank you and I'm so excited to share the full game with you and everyone else 💖💖

And yes, Salyra is definitely written to be a narcissist 😅 You could say much of the story is influenced by my experiences so it was intentional.

Thank you for playing and leaving a comment! 🌸

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get what she did that was particularly narcissistic? It seems like a lot of people hate her but I'm not really sure why. Her going through the player's belongings is quite invasive and I don't like that she's keeping secrets but overall it doesn't seem like she's done anything really unforgivable. (Though I've only played the demo version so maybe this is expanded upon in the patreon builds)

No, you're not missing anything 😊I try to leave the character dynamics to feel as open-ended as possible so that players can interpret the different actions as they feel to them without being told they're wrong. There is no right or wrong way to interpret Salyra's actions and I have a range from she's evil to she was just trying her best from players. If you can forgive her, great and if not, you won't be punished for acting against her either. So however you feel about her, it's completely valid and definitely not wrong.
