This was awesome, Sasha! I've played a few Twine games that I've really enjoyed on Itch in their own ways but this was the deepest, and yet done in a way that feels so natural. There's no exposition, no "here's the backstory" dump of text, you're just tossed into it.
And I absolutely love that this game is created in such a way that you genuinely feel equally valid for either major choice in the end. I had to do both, of course, to see what happened 🤣 But, especially living in a small town, it almost felt evil (intentionally so, of course, and also equally realistic) to have such a queer-friendly, positive, lovely place be so entrenched in war. Like... I would dream of a workplace like that, and I'm sure I'm far from the only one. Heck, I've never even had a job with insurance, let alone the rest 🤣🤣🤣🤣
All of that to say that I love this so much and you captured it all so well in wonderful writing and world-building!
