That was amazing. 

Seriously the most affirming and beautiful piece of gay media I've ever seen. One of the most endearing aspects was how the characters' depth and your abilities as a story teller developed in tandem, and all of it seemed to mirror Zack's own development... which I know mirrored my own coming out: stumbling around for way to long just trying to see dick and then slowly realizing the complexity of the world around you and the people in it. Very meta. I have to admit that a couple of the plot points towards the end were a little ... "extra" but how you leveraged them to propel the character development and tell a deeper story made the more superficial plot exploits work in your favor. 

The ending did *not* disappoint - and I think it would have been so easy to botch.  The meta references (porn can have stories etc...) and how you inserted yourself at the end were really spot on (cheesy, but spot on).  The writing in the Ash scenes literally had me laughing out loud. 

I downloaded this for "porn" but I got something so much deeper. That really became obvious when I realized that the "hottest" scenes were the ones where they were just laying in bed.  And I teared up SO many times. It's definitely unlike anything I've ever seen, and it's something I really needed to see at this moment in my life.  Thanks for your effort working on this, the care you put into it is evident and I've been waiting 20 years to hear a story like this. It's really breathtaking, and I hope you're proud. 

Thank you!

Thank You! I subscribe to every single word.
I’ve been trying to comment for a few weeks to express what this story did for (and to) me but almost everything I want to say was already said in a much better way than I would be able to say it. I find it astonishing how consitent the reactions to this „game“ are (at least from those who take the time to comment). Maybe it‘s a matter of „natural selection“ because those who make it to the end, do so for very similar reasons. But most of all, the way the story is crafted conveys such a strong message that it‘s impossible not to be affected by it. I‘m glad that I found it by coincidence and very grateful to Aaryn and his co-developers.

Heya, glad you guys liked it and I appreciate that you looked at the story on a deeper level, given the genre that it's written in. i think the revamp will be more consistent but you're absolutely right. when i started this i had no writing experience at all you the quality of the story does develop with zack so you kinda get to watch both of us grow in real time. there's  a ton of meta references in it and that was an overarching theme throughout. i wanted something that was in the adult genre that actually confronted the genre. also, glad you liked the ending. i was terrified and i agree, good stories can have terrible endings and ruin everything and i was super invested in trying to make this right. i am proud of it. it's not perfect but it's a first draft at something that i've never done before and i literally put my soul into it and i'm humbled that people have received it well and it's made such a difference to people <3
