AHHHHH!! Thank you so much for this lovely comment!!! I really enjoyed reading it and I'm glad you and your friend have been enjoying talking about it hahahahaha. It's funny because some of the directions this game has ended up going were not super planned way back when I was first thinking up the story and writing the first bits, but started to grow as I not only got deeper and deeper into the story and chars but also kept putting more and more of myself into the game, too. I'm really glad that you're enjoying it so far and all the stories of the chars! It really means a lot ahhhhh dkfjalsdkfjalsdk 😭💕
As for the song................omg?? I actually hadn't even thought about all of that. I tend to base my music choices mostly on vibe—listening to song after song until I find one that I feel fits the scene in my head (or sometimes simply happening upon a song that I fall in love with and that actually helps inspire certain scenes or parts of scenes, as well). That is really neat hearing that, though! I'm kinda jazzed that it would turn out to give even more meaning to the scene, since that's pretty much the dynamic I was, indeed, aiming for with that scene 😍 (admittedly, this would not be the first time someone has pointed out something I've written or done has some kind of deeper meaning attached to it than I had even noticed... GAH💦💦)
At any rate, thank you so so much for playing and for your lovely words!! I hope you'll enjoy Arc 5 when it finally comes out!! (And I hope I won't lose my mind producing it... LOOL) 💕
