oh my goodness, love it so much.  the visuals are INCREDIBLE.  i had no idea it was even possible to get that much fluidity and expressivity out of pixel art.  the character moments were adorable.  I loved reading the stories and finding out things about the world by clicking on a random object and listening to them go on a tangent.  honestly a huge fan of this format.  the music is top notch as well.  huge range of expression.  the sort of uneasy feeling in the gym as it slows down and speeds up is novel and quite interesting.  i'm not much of one for classical music but i asked jack to play "something nice" on the piano and i think i'm going to listen to that piece on loop for a while.

and as a bonus -- and this is not something I say lightly -- this game has hands down the best autistic rep i've seen from any piece of media possibly ever.  and that includes all the comics i've seen explaining autism to non-autistic people.  as someone on the spectrum myself i LOVE to see it.  jack has the nerdiness.  he has The Word Choice(tm).  he has the fierce, undying autistic loyalty, sticking close by his friend through all these years.  neal wants to punch the guy who constantly compares him to sheldon.   I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.  
independent of being autistic jack is also just a great guy, constantly building his friend up and genuinely enjoying spending time with him even in his wort moments.  i love watching them interact and ... man i could gush for hours.  12/10 LOVE THIS when is the full game coming out.  shut up and take my money.

Whattttt thank you so much, this is one of the most moving comments ive ever gotten on any of my art and this seriously made my day. I'm very glad you resonated so much with Jack's writing. I feel like it's so difficult to find meaningful portrayals of what being autistic actually, tangibly means in a character's day-to-day life, much less over the course of their entire life and how their experience has changed over the years. I was hoping that speaking to specificity and having a lot of deep cuts / "if you know you know" stuff relevant to particular contexts rather than just stating out loud that Jack is autistic (especially unnecessary since it's a fact Jack and Neal are both already well aware of!) would be as meaningful to other people as it is to me and my own experience. So I'm super super happy you appreciated it :D
