Oh my, you had so much to say and I love it! I'll try to address as much as I can!
1. Yes, I am the artist! But I wouldn't be the father, I'd be the mother, haha!
2. I think your interpretation is great! But as you mentioned yourself, I don't wanna say too much and affect anyone else's interpretations. I don't think there's necessarily "wrong" ways to interpret the game--just different ones! And I love to read all of them!
3. (Kinda skipping around a bit) I too like my games with multiple endings! However, I thought it was important for this story in particular to have one, that's left open to interpretation. I know some people were confused by the ending or felt there should have been more, but I truly think it's the best way to end this game given the events of it and what they could stand for. One thing I've noticed though is that many seem to view it as a pessimistic ending--I'll just say I don't see it that way.
4. Thank you so much for your support! I hope to see you around with whatever other works I make, and I do hope you'll enjoy Cemetery Mary too!
Thank you again for your kind words and thoughts! <3
