Hi Nigen, thank you for your thoughtful comment on my jam game in response to my comment-less rating.
You seem to be upset about my rating without leaving a comment and I understand your frustration, I genuinely do. I left the rating during a stream and simply forgot to follow it up afterwards with a comment. Sorry for that oversight. I should have left a few words. So let me explain...
My issues comes from the way you handled the theme of suicide (but that's a creative decision and your perogative as a developer) but mostly your incorrect warning of 'indication of self harm' when you show two pretty clear and graphic suicides, which was upsetting to me in the moment and something I would have simply not streamed, would I have known.
Self harm is usually understood as non-fatal and while I genuinely appreciate you putting out a warning in the first place, I didn't expect to encounter these things, which were upsetting for a variety of personal reasons. I understand that this is an inherent risk with indie horror games, but whenever I can, I try to stay clear of those that feature the actual act(s) of suicide.
I hope your continue on your path as a game developer, but would urge you to give people the benefit of doubt and reach out directly to another developer, instead of leaving a passive aggressive comment, implying some sort of disrespect where none was meant.
Sometimes people simply forget to leave a comment with their rating, like I did.
Anyway, I changed my rating, not taking my past or personal issues into account and will leave some more thoughtful feedback on the various elements of the game. Feel free to rate my games any way you like, especially if you did not enjoy them!
Take care
