I've never actually heard of the original version of Blue Suburbia that you mention in the game. So I went in without any knowledge of that. I have to say, this is such a fascinating game. I really love your use of sound design, and I found myself lost within the environments you've crafted. The literary sections are already written beautifully, but paired with the sounds and environment? AND THAT STATIC- I was absolutely shaken to my core during "A taste of what's coming" as I realized what the meaning of the experience was. Knowing that and then going into that section with the huge chains made me feel really upset.
As a player, I'm really moved. As an aspiring game dev, this is super inspiring. I can't wait to buy the full version when it comes out someday!!
