Úna-Minh, you had me bawling at the end. 😅
I wish I had a more considered comment to make but I'm just amazed at how you've so quickly become one of my favourite game makers and writers! The prose was excellent as well as the storytelling and character building. I was particularly impressed at the use of senses in creating such a strong sense of place, I loved the poem.
Eibhlín and everyone else had a lot of depth (so much richness alluded to), and I loved seeing a neurodivergent character who is understood and cared for by those around her even without explicit modern language.
And the small bits of Irish felt so lyrical. I agree with other comments the translation mechanic was excellent. And the music too. Excellent excellent!! You're doing such brill work.
Ah!! What a lovely comment to wake up to. So thrilled you liked it and dare I say, I'm glad you cried 😅😅😅
I'm quite pleased that it evoked strong emotions in you, and also so happy you could see/understand how I was presenting neurodivergence in the 1900s. It was something I was so conscious of while writing, but also excited to write because, of course, it has always existed.
Excited to keep going, but definitely need to figure out how to approach my BIG GAME next. Though admittedly, if another jam catches my eye...
