wow!! really sharp writing (exactly how we used to type lol) and oh my goddd THESE PEOPLE. i kind of want to shake them both to be honest, keith for being such a dick and the main character for the fawning response... also gcse jumpscare!
oh my god yes. I used to stand at the level crossing just wishing the trains could spirit me away from the fields. the part about being locked out from normal human experiences like seeing your friends after school and going to the library is just so cruel. trains are beautiful wishes!
the stuff about piss and control and capitalism was so bigbrained omg. also beatiful use of the engine to tell a story that can only be told as a game (like the bit when you're counting down, i delayed and felt like a participant)
aaaaaaaa yesss body-as-a-tool is something i think about a lot like. context-specific body as a kind of gender experience and how weird sex is able to access that is hnngngg. glad you noticed. <3
Slime Feet was my inspiration to check out the videotome engines so thank you for putting me onto it!!! i want to do something bigger with Videotome ADV next hehe
