This game is beyond incredible. I don't think any game has made me cry this much. I've never felt so seen or included. The queer representation made me so happy to see. Especially, Knife and Keys. I was enthralled to see myself in a character as somebody who doesn't use she/he/they pronouns. ESPCIALLY, as somebody who uses xe/xem pronouns most of the time. As well as, the asensual representation which was a huge highlight for me. Relationships don't require touch and I love that it's touched on in this game. (No pun intended)
I really like how love and lovelessness are explored. How friendship is shown, how the lack of friendship is shown, and how relationships can go askew. Furthermore, I enjoy how long the game is, it truly feels like I sat down and went on an adventure with the cast. Every design and function of the game feels intentional.
Lastly, I enjoy how what I expected from the game was broken down from time to time. It goes hand in hand with how the concept of a "typical" friendship or other relationship "should be" is broken down. There's a lot to be learned about relationships and the lack of them. This game captures all of that beautifully.
Thank you so much!! I'm happy it meant this much to you, thank you for this very kind message.
And I'm glad! This game was intended to make you believe it was going to be a very simple power of friendship story only for it to break your expectations again and again. And I worry about it being too long but it needed to be long to properly tell the story so I'm glad you thought the length made it better.
Happy you enjoyed it! Have a nice day.
