I just want to say you're a really good writer. I'm sure you've heard those words before. I think you have a real gift in bringing people along the journey with just words so much so that I could feel the passion, joy, sorrow, pain, just everything. And I've never even went through job hunting in the animation industry before, nor do I have the overachieving personality you seem to have. But I know the message of never giving up on what you want. I know the feeling of unwantedness that makes you suicidal. I used that to fill in the blanks. I read stories like yours before and I thought before I played this game that it would be another one of those, where I would just feel bad for them without feeling for them, if that makes any sense. And I'm so glad I was wrong about that. This game has moved me so much and I didn't even need the message you were trying to tell me (already had to learn it due to my disability and neurodivergence giving me a wake-up call at an early age).
I kind of want to ask if you have a written transcript without the gameplay. Especially when I have friends who could probably use this story but currently don't have the time to play through the entire game. But I won't budge too much on it cause if you written it while coding, it's going to be a pain in the butt to go through and I'd rather just send my friends the entire game and wait until they're on holiday break at that point.
Thank you for making this game. It's really stuck with me after finishing it
