TLDR: THIS GAME IS AMAZING AND U ALL SHOULD 1000000% CHECK IT OUT WAYYYY TOO ACCURATE AND RELATABLE AND BRILLIANT 

OK IM BACK AFTER PLAYING BOTH ENDINGS AND OH MY GOD I'M ACTUALLY CRYING THIS WAS SO AMAZING I'VE NEVER FELT SO SEEN BEFORE THE WAY YOU PORTRAYED SOCIAL ANXIETY AND EVERY ASPECT OF IT FROM IT JUST SUDDENLY APPEARING ONE DAY IN MIDDLE SCHOOL TO THE CRIPPING SELF LOATHING AND SELF DOUBTS AND WORRIES AND FEARS. EVERYTHING IS JUST. UGH, I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE WORDS IK I MAY SOUND A BIT OVERLY EXCITED AND SO SORRY FOR THE ESSAY BUT IDC CUZ I DON'T SEE SOCIAL ANXIETY BEING PORTRAYED VERY OFTEN IN MEDIA, AND WHEN IT IS HALF THE TIME IT NEVER TO THE POINT WHERE IT LEAVES ME SPEECHLESS LIKE THIS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE WAY U PORTRAYED SOCIAL ANXIETY/GEIST IN THIS SORT OF ABUSIVE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP BC ITS SO TRUE JUST WITHOUT ANOTHER PERSON. I ALSO ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY INTERACTION THAT THE MC HAD WITH EVERYONE ESPECIALLY WHEN (SPOILER WARNING) 

THEY CONFRONTED GEIST AB EVERYTHING IN THAT SCENE WAS JUST AMAZING SAME WITH THE ENDING CREDIT (?) PART IN KALEI'S ENDING SEEING THE MC BEING ABLE TO GET BETTER AND HAVE THE CRIPPING ANXIETY GRADUALLY GO AWAY WAS JUST. JDGFHGJFDG NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS GAME JUST FILLED ME WITH A LOT OF HOPE SINCE I'VE NOTICED THAT I'VE BEEN GETTING SLIGHTLY BETTER MYSELF, NOT ALOT THE SOCIAL ANXIETY IS DEF STILL THERE, BUT STILL IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY KNOWING THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE FREE OF ALL THIS SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS THIS IS OFFICIALLY ONE OF MY NEW ALL TIME FAV GAMES AND A NEW HYPERFIXATION U ARE AMAZING FOR MAKING THIS I MOST DEF HAVE TO PLAY UR OTHER GAMES AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT OTHER ONES U MAKE IN THE FUTURE! <33333

DFGDFGDSFDSF I'M SPEECHLESS THANK YOU FOR LEAVING THIS SWEET (AND INCREDIBLY ENTHUSIASTIC) COMMENT??? AND NOOOO DON'T BE SORRY I ABSOLUTELY LOVE READING ESSAYS! 

I'm really touched that you found this so relatable 😭😭😭 When I was scripting I was quite worried since I based it so heavily on my own past experience - "What if everyone just finds the MC annoying?? What if they can't relate??" So to hear that it touched you so deeply and made you feel seen means SO MUCH to me, you really have no idea 😭 And while I didn't feel this way so much when I was developing, after release I was wondering "Oh no, I hope this isn't just a stressful/triggering game for people..." since I do know that the depiction of anxiety goes quite hard (as opposed to simply being shy/awkward). So dfgdfgdfgfgd I'm just tearing up knowing that it gave you hope and was empowering, I'm so happy to hear that!! I'm so glad to hear that you're getting better!!! It's a process - and not always a smooth one, but I'm rooting for you!!! 🥹❤️

DGFGHFFGHF ALL OF MY GAMES ARE QUITE DIFFERENT SO FAR DFGDFGD But I try to make them all interesting/enjoyable!! I hope you have fun! Thank you again for playing and leaving your thoughts 😭😭😭 They're truly so motivating!!!

Ofc no problem, I'm so happy to hear that my comment and many others are making your day bc I truly mean every word of it!! I'm genuinely really really impressed by all this game has to offer, from the BG art/effects and character design to the amazing voice acting to the subtle but brilliant animation details, especially considering that you're solo dev. I also really appreciate the support, you're right the process is nowhere near smooth or quick, but it's progress nonetheless. Btw the way I got way too invested in Detective Dog's lore if only it was an actual series/show irl 😭 also the Dog plushies in the BG stole my heart, forget ab Geist or Kalei Dog is my bbg now <333
