Sincerely, one word for the game: WOW. That was an AMAZING experience, and I'm putting it lightly. I found the presentation absolutely STELLAR. The visuals were generally inspiring, but also so cohesive despite the variety of the collage and of the illustrations? I am genuinely speechless, this VN is literally one of the most beautiful I've ever laid my eyes upon, the artistic vision here really spoke to me on a VERY DEEP level, I'm an absolute fan 😭😭😭(like, my dream project involves exploring various forms of art in a VN, traditional art included, so seeing EMBROIDERY in a VN, OH MY GOD, my heart skipped a beat, I loved it!!!!! I went to an artistic centre last month and remembered seeing wooden dolls covered with embroidery, and it was a very cool vision)
For the narration, I thought it was very well crafted too, especially the parts where we're more stuck in the protagonist's mind. I could feel, reading the lines, the exhaustion, the desire to just be somewhere ese, in another body that isn't suffering. I don't have hEDS (and I appreciated the screening section a lot; I don't think I am concerned, beyond my carpal tunnel syndrome, but it was very educative!), but I still thought it was relatable due to other health circumstances! The viscerality of the prose and the illustration also contributed to a narration of a suffering that just needs to stop. I really enjoyed the two endings: the first one, embracing the "toxic" yuri aspect of the jam, and the second which was more hopeful while refusing to give into naïve hope or to promote miraculous solutions: wanting to get better isn't enough to get better, but that doesn't mean trying is meaningless, even when sometimes it involves suffering. The game narrated this very well, and the metaphor, allowing for the yuri aspect of the game, was very appropriate!
Congrats on making this amazing game, I'm blown away!!
