Thank you so much for playing the game! I'm excited to watch your gameplay of it!
I can empathize with your point of view too! The idea that one might have to choose to save their self rather than someone else feels so horrible. It goes against one's own empathy too; the more we understand someone's pain, the more we want to help them! While I don't think it's something everyone can or should do themselves, I believe that kind of self-sacrifice does have its place as a course of action when the time is right and I admire the type of person willing to take that risk -- and I hope that if the time ever comes, I'd be able to do the same.
The times where someone should walk away from a toxic situation that could have had a good outcome, or are forced to walk away due to circumstance are utterly tragic. But I really think that if it didn't end in death, there's hope beyond that tragedy that can sometimes lead to enlightenment in the other person and spark the beginning of them changing, even if it's without the help of the one they hurt or pushed away. At least I'd hope so. We can only ever control our own will to change; we can't force it in others -- not even to save them.
Sorry for the long reply! This game kind of took over my life for nearly a year so I have a lot to say about it and its themes, haha! Thanks again for trying out my game, I'm glad you enjoyed it and its story. I'm doing well and I hope you are too!
