Credits to the author for very respectful depictions of how these disorders manifest!!!

Pretty astounded I got a good "ending" first try (Not fired), felt pretty unearned... Was it only because I made sure to delegate my time equally first-time around?

Honestly, all my psych knowledge comes from 2 psych courses I took in school so I was pretty unprepared with saying the best thing to help out. On my second try, I thought I would do better trying to select the right answers/spend more time with mistrustful buddies --- but Hart ended up quitting LMAO. Game really doesnt reward indulgence(?)/insensitivity - sometimes I felt like I was walking on eggshells, and I couldn't get to help some of the pals without risking my job (ironically)!! Enjoyed using my pea brain to read minds 10/10

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm honestly shocked by how I wrote the week 1 content at age 15 with no formal psych education.

Wooow thats seriously impressive, props to you!!! Nuance of having the desire to help pts vs. overstepping professional boundaries was spot on. The guilt of feeling inadequate for the PTs was also soo on point! Have you worked in healthcare/know someone who had? Were those numbers describing their disorders from the DSM? In any case, looking forward to seeing more works by you!!

My education in mental health at that time came mostly from attempts at self-diagnosis starting in primary school, plus later on research done specifically for the game. I guess I just have a good grasp of how people act/feel and it contributes to character writing even if it's a situation I haven't been in. And, thanks again, I'd love to work on some more VNs in the future!
