Chim, I am crying...
I know I say this probably every time. And it's true every time.
But this feels like it hit even harder.
When the words "...is just an upload away" came on the screen the tears just started running down my cheeks...
This was a beautiful game. Tragic and heartbreaking but so full of hope and empowerment at the end that it made my heart swell so much I felt like I couldn't breathe.
As I was playing and weeping for Jace, all my own struggles leading to my own ace discovery and the person who broke my heart and soul to get me there were like, running rampant through my brain. And then to see Jace at the end finally say those things. Finally push and fight back. Finally break free. And then when the call ended and showed the sweet desktop and those final words. It was like discovering myself all over again and finding that understanding and hope and it just really hit me hard.
Thank you for making this.
You are so powerful for making this.
I feel like this not only speaks to so many ace people out there but also every person who's ever stood up to an abuser (and to those who might not yet have the strength to).
This was beautiful and impactful in a way that I have a hard time putting words to, so you might have to forgive me that my comment seems a bit shorter than usual but it's only because my words aren't really wording right now 💦
Game dev. Telling our stories. Creating worlds of hope for ourselves and others really can help us come to terms with ourselves and our lives and our pasts. And to connect with others that might also need to hear those types of stories. Sometimes it is just an upload away...
