GOSH I FEEL LIKE MY WHOLE MIND IS NOW REVERBERATING WITH THIS. It's filling up all the nooks and crannies with a surreal otherworldly dread....... 😭 (ok but I like it alkdjfalkds)
Everything about this was so expertly crafted to imbue this sense of unavoidable doom, to the point that I'm now filled with doom myself as I bring myself back to reality to write this. From the ominous red sky, to the haunting and surreal music, to the terrifying end-of-the-world-style sprite. My mind immediately goes back to all the horrifying world end moments I've experienced in other media that has haunted me since, from the moon falling in Majora's Mask to the red star falling in the Kirby anime series (YES I KNOW KIRBY DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT WOULD BE EMOTIONAL BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS REALLY INTENSE ALKDFJAS). Stories like this always sit on my heart for a while, and this was no different, especially the haunting way you presented it and the inevitable doom despite which choice you make. Also just the... sadness woven through everything. Sadness beyond the obvious end of the world and weighing heavily upon this estranged relationship and what must have occured to cause this type of rift between them and the trauma they both endured.
The way you wrote everything to give us small clues without revealing everything created so much room for my mind to develop possible scenarios and wonder about the world of lore beneath it (even despite the lore I already know from having played LGBT!). I really want to know more now about Cass and what exactly happened. I just love how you intersperse so many details and lore bits all across your games so you can slowly piece the chars and different woven narratives together! It really feels like its own dreamlike universe.
A really fantastic little game with a gut-wrenching emotional punch that will definitely sit with you for a while! I really enjoyed this. ALSO I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LITERALLY DID THIS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS LDKJFALSKDJFADSF
