I think given the topics you write about, you'll have a pretty narrow audience. But as someone in that audience, I think it's phenomenal; just my opinion.

I'm not sure what sort of selecting you do for alpha testers; if they're expecting a game first, getting something where the main content is literary and in a topic they don't find comfortable or relatable isn't going to paint your work in the best light. (Also, for "Saving You From Yourself" the Epilogue is what made incredibly memorable, and that makes it more of a mixed-media artwork since it goes outside of just the framing of a game, yeah?)

I can understand not wanting to attract negative attention (especially if there's the possibility of that turning into real, physical danger). I don't think any (reasonable) amount of people like me who greatly appreciate this work can make that go away. Along with many other positive comments here, I'm just another voice saying I did get a lot out of what you have to say, that can be weighed against the negative ones from a broader audience.

Absolutely. I think the draw is in your perspectives and words. I think you're doing yourself a disservice if you think of this as a "flawed level". The fact that the messaging can hit so hard and leave such an impression already shows its merit.
-- The only negative I have about this particular work is needing to restart to see the other parts of the narrative you wrote, but it's a short enough work that it's not that much of a bother. And if anything, it only feels that way because I do care about what you're depicting, so I want to see all of the angles.

Hello -- I played this when it was first included in the Bundle for Racial Justice & Equality, 6 years ago. This piece (specifically the Epilogue) has stood out in my mind stronger than any other piece of media I experienced from that bundle. I'm revisiting now, and each line is just perfectly placed. Your work is remarkable, please don't stop making art like this. I don't care what the haters say, this is an incredibly meaningful piece for the people it is intended to interact with. I hope you see this, and I hope it's meaningful in turn to you to know that this work has resonated with me.

The Discord invite link is broken, I'm interested in joining.

Bought it on release, read it in one day yesterday. Absolutely loved it. A very complete romance, a bit of a stubborn one too -- but that's good because I feel like I both identify with that more and also find a much more sincere expression of attachment.

Also hot. In the great way of, if I were this into someone, yes, of course I'd be a bit lustful too. But also we get to explore different sides of this as the characters change.

I dunno what really else to say that would be of substance. I'm just kinda rambling gushing at how it's another great work and I really really vibe with its presentation.
