OH MY GOSH! THE NAMING MECHANIC IS GENIUS!!! AAAAHHHH I AM IN AWE OF THIS MECHANIC AND HOW CLEVER IT WAS TO USE IT AS A WAY TO SHOWCASE DIFFERENT PARTS OF 82!!!

It took me a few tries to actually get it right as I tried different names first , but oh! when it finally dawned on me on what to do it was such as spectacular aha! moment and wow, I do love how the story flowed because of this, while still being able to make use of the O2A2 limitation!!! This was truly a pleasant experience!!! Good job!

Also! Side note! I also loved your other O2A2 entry from last year TXXX! As a HUGE time travel fan who also loves to see characters from multiple dimensions, more so if they kind of have a tint of star-crossed lovers, I really enjoyed it! Especially the push and pull of the decision! I'm so happy chim recommended it to me! But my problem though is that I can't seem to find where to rate it?

Anyways I really do love your O2A2 entries! <3

Thank you so much for playing, Butter, I'm happy you enjoyed them both 🥺💕

It was a bit of a challenge to fit four different conversations within the limit, but I really wanted to show the differences in people's impressions of 82 so I'm glad I succeeded in that ^^

As for TXXX, I had to turn off ratings because it kept getting bad ones after the jam and it was making me depressed. 😅 But it warms my heart that you liked it! I love exploring different scenarios with my characters and this is a pretty extreme example of that, haha. My favorite part about it is that there's really no correct choice there and the consequences look bad no matter what you pick. ^^

Aaaaww I'm really so sorry to hear that about TXXX! It was quite lovely to me! And I did like how no matter the choice someone was always going to get hurt, so it was a matter of choosing between your duty and responsibility, and the one who loves you. It honestly was painful to choose either option because of the lingering what ifs!

(Personally, I'd freeze at such a decision. I would rather choose the option where I am hurt rather than one where somebody is hurt, but in this case, you always end up hurting someone, so it was extra-painful! More so, in this case, the one being hurt is a version of the MC's beloved , so +++ angsty, Aaaahh!)

(On a more positive note though, I LOVED the music from TXXX so much!!! It's so melancholic and sad and AAAHHHHHHH so beautiful! I actually had it on loop while I was drawing my Background and Sprite for my own O2A2 entry, which I guess added to the angst I felt while making it!)

That's the risk of submitting jam games, I guess. People don't know about the limitations, go in expecting more, and express their disappointment with low ratings. 🥲

I like to think of choices as separate timelines, so there's no 'canon' choice and they can all exist in parallel to each other. ^^

Ahhhhh, I'll let my composer know that you liked the music! And honestly, out of all the tracks they've made for my games, this one is easily my favorite, too. 🤭 (And I already wanted to play your entry, but now i just have to hbhdsaadsjka)
