I normally don't comment much of anywhere on the internet, but I had to for this. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The main character is uncomfortably relatable. I have to give credit to the writing, I felt like one of the characters in the story, who was enamored with the outward appearance of the main character. Ya know, who hasn't been a troubled teen trying to navigate a complex world? It was only due to being "in her head" that a more full picture of who she is developed. If I had any "complaints" its that I came to feel strongly for Mercredi, and her rightful fate still seemed too cruel for a character I had come to both love and loathe. An excellent journey touching many topics, and with enough sort of open-endedness where there are many paths to explain - or excuse - her actions. Thank you for the journey, miffed as I am about the destination! :D There's a lot of praise I'd love to give the game, but I don't want to enter spoiler territory for anyone else skimming the comments.
Also, were the "devil horns" wisps of hair intentional, or just a design happenstance?

I know how you feel, I created an account just to comment here (if you scroll down a little you will see) I also found the end of mercredi very cruel but that was kind of the intention you will understand if you read the discussion below. I really wish there was another possible ending where she was happy or didn't have an ending like that. Maybe a ending with some kind of redemption for her.
Thank you very much! Something I realized while making the ending is that it's supposed to feel a little unfair. You've been living and sympathizing with Mercredi, as the player, or maybe even relating to her - so, depending on who you are, either it feels upsetting, conflicting, or completely justified. And any and all of those feelings are valid because what she did was complicated. I'm glad you seemed to enjoy the game so much :)
The horns were completely unintentional! A part of me thinks my subconscious might have done that lmao I think those few unintentional brush strokes adds a lot more to her character, though. And maybe even a hint as to what's to come.
