Hi Chatter! Thank you for your detailed feedback, and thank YOU for helping out with the game! You really turned my mud to gold!
Once more, I'm very happy you appreciated the presentation! I did go the extra mile for it this time around, because I thought it would contribute to the horror haha! And that exactly was the idea behind the "black bars" on the side: to make it all the more striking when things happen out of the frame haha!

I'm very happy you also enjoyed the depiction of ab**e in this game, and of, well, the very complicated dynamics going on since, indeed, Jonas' time with Lazare does allow him, to some extent, to feel more comfortable wit his sexuality. However, Lazare is trying to orient the situation towards what he wants it to be, in some sort of textbook gr**m*ng. And I'm very happy, in that regard, that Jonas was relatable!
And you're right, the game is filled with symbols, motifs, references etc., amongst which the fire and water motif, and the ghosts one, which you explained very well! So I'm glad my motivations appeared clearly!
Once again, thank you for your very detailed feedback, for your nice words and for your support while developing it! And how did I do all of this in a month... well... I do wonder so myself loool, and I'm already confused thinking at how I'm going to pull off something similar next year, haha...
