I first played this game in July and replayed it a few days ago and lost my mind both times. The dialogue feels so fluid, and watching Marimaite struggle with her conflicting feelings of revulsion, self-loathing, arousal, and affection is captivating and makes warmth pool in my belly. Sitri's a wonderful character. It's fascinating how neither Marimaite nor the reader fully see into her mind, so when she acts teasing, salacious, or provocative, I don't know whether she's playing, manipulating, or being authentic. I love how she remains inscrutable, free, and unbowed throughout the story. The way she brazenly and voraciously flirts with her jailer, suggesting how good Marimaite would feel if she held her down and had her way with her, is also unbearably hot. Thank you for the wonderful art. <3

The scene of Heather's first meeting with Her created this tense, heavy feeling of dread in my jaw and stomach that didn't leave me for the rest of the game. When I had reached the ending and was going over the story in my head, I started crying; that opening scene, the scene of Heather relapsing, and the themes of exploitation, isolation, dehumanization, and torture struck me so deeply. This work was profoundly disquieting and captivating to read and will live in my head. Thank you for the wonderful art.
