I played this a few months ago, but I finally have an account so I can comment now. 

I played this while still in an abusive relationship that was deeply similar, I even had a friend like the sibling. This game helped me leave. 

I don't think I'll ever be able to replay it again, but it is one of the best depictions of a type of abuse that is so very common and yet barely ever talked about. Both characters have such good insight on how a victim and the abuser would feel in this type of situation, and why the abusers actions are still bad even though it's out of hurt. None of it is ever justified while still being explained.

I've played quite a few of your games, and I haven't found one I've disliked so far, but this has to be one of -- if not -- the best. I'm pretty sure you made MY GF doesn't know what im into, and that's actually been one of my favorite games for about 3 years now. 

This is word vomit from a stranger who doesn't know you and you dont know them, but all of that is to say that your work is absolutely amazing, and you've helped me (and likely others) because of it. 

absolutely horrible and sickening, handles a lot of topics masterfully, and leaves you thinking about it long after it ends. I played this about a week and a half ago, before I even made this account, and it's been stirring in my mind ever since.

Both characters are incredibly well written, especially Rory, and I found myself unable to guess what would happen next. I had to step back multiple times due to how intense my anxiety around the game was getting. Tension builds up from the very first interaction and there's not a single true moment of relief to be found. Each interaction feels longer than it really is, and thats a major compliment.

I must say, the creator has written the bond between abuse survivors and abusers extremely well. I found myself relating to both the person in the phone call and Rory very deeply. I'm keeping it vague to avoid spoilers, but if you've played the game you'll know.

The only complaint I could possibly have is that, iirc, the CW/TWs are found in the menu, which I didn't find until it had already gotten pretty heavy, and for the wrong people could be dangerous.

Absolute 10/10 game, I've never played anything like it before.

I made an account just to say that this is one of the best games I've ever played. thank you for making this
