Wow what a game didn't expect a good lesson from a game. this one takes the seriousness (seriously) to a whole other level. Not sure if I was really looking into it to deep but the unnerving nature of the legs twisting in inhuman ways while you are training makes it unsettling and shows you the nature of the matter, the fact that the happiness meter increases despite you being about to collapse also says a lot, as if collapsing is the only way to take a break from this cycle, some feedback would be the controls didn't map to each leg easily for me and I had to try around for a bit to properly figure it out, and (spoilers I guess if you are reading before playing) I'm glad the ending is a good one!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I will for sure re-rig the character from scratch and maybe add visual feedback on when which leg should be activated in future versions. Glad to hear you got the the end. Was getting a bit nervous that I had made the vicious part a bit too long for how frustrating it can get that no-one got to the end.
