it’s been quite a while since i finished my playthrough of this game. i listened to the “leaving the party” podcast recently and was reminded of how much i vibed with your game.
i played it together with a friend and we had so much fun voicing the different characters. the way they are written really made that easy. i continued playing through the game on my own and still kept reading out the voices aloud (a good opportunity for voice training).
i normally look at a character from a distance and at max relate to situations they experience. with ghost i often felt quite connected. she felt like me or how i want to be in many situations. when i read how you imagined her in the art book this made even more sense to me. i love how she is – despite her troubles – a very positive, genuine, and curious person.
the variety of styles between character portraits, bgs, and scenes were lovely. i also liked the ui flourishes like the achievement sprites, and the gorgeous button hover effect (that i only saw in the beginning as i started to use number inputs after a while – shame on me).
gameplay-wise i was really stressed during the first two days and only started to go on whimsical adventures on the last two days. the gender clinic scene was so uncomfortable and it made me thankful that i didn’t need t go through these questionnaires to get my name changed (i live in germany and there was an improvement regarding name changes last year – that is already being contested).
the music was pretty memorable and together with your writing and art you played so many of my emotional strings.
llrpg was my entry point to trans games, so it holds a special place in my heart (especially because it was such a lovely experience).
thank you for crating and publishing this game.
