Incredibly vivid, I am in tears from the atmosphere and story you tell.
Made me so emotional I almost forgot to scream about the unique immersive main menu and use of kinetic text!!!! When the buttons moved and dodged my very gaze it shot deeply into my heart.. This is so vivid, thank you for sharing something so personal!!!
I love a spiral, and this one hits deep. I have seen a lot of men in my life go down this path, or express these exact feelings, but I struggle to relate. It's heart-wretching to be put in the position of experiencing it, and I think that I have a better understanding now than I did before.
This game is so emotionally open and intimate that I worry to use regular game language to refer to its part, but here we go:
Spoilers - After playing the first part, I actually went to press the "new game" button again, so that I could read it a second time more in depth, savour it more, only to be surprised by a second section. I think that this moment was so wonderful, because I wanted to revisit that time from before, but of course, to my discomfort, it was long gone. By the end, after finishing the game, I clicked continue 5 or so times, just to make sure there was no chance I could miss anything more, and it really settled into my mind just how tragic this cycle had been, that the protagonist, in fear of becoming the burden that his older self was, isolates himself entirely from the player.
I desperately want to go back and read it all again, and feel like that is exactly how I should feel now that it is over....
My exact order was blurry window, clean window, rug, door and THEN the gunk under the rug, because I didn't realise you could click it until there was nothing else to click. I made the assumption that maybe it was intentional that the character was ignoring it to such a degree that it wasn't clickable. I also clicked the objects multiple times just in case there was some extra dialogues but I don't think I found any (which makes sense bc word count lol) :) I liked it lots
This feels like a childrens show host got fired and didn't leave their house for 5 years, I love it. The amount of thought the protagonist put into how each element of their room would think and act around them and amongst themselves is so interesting. The dirtiness of the outside of one window made me wonder if the outside was a hellscape, but the other window quickly corrected me. Just by talking about each element I realise that I start to feel closer to the protagonist of your game!!
