Oh, Kristi, it was such a powerful game! First and foremost, I read the devlog and I'm sorry you had to go through such an experience. The game reminded me of some of my own experiences with hospitals too (which also included, for one of them, seeing one of my parents with tubes) and you transcribed very well this sensation of being powerless, forced to face a situation we do not want and that we would like to change. I do think the game is even more powerful as its message goes even beyond this specific situation: anyone who's ever had to pretend to be strong for the sake of others can relate, as you narrate this experience wonderfully.
Thanks for making this and sharing a part of yourself, it was emotional and powerful. I wish you and your family all the best!
