Hey, this story means so much to me. I love your writing, I love how detailed and descriptive and intense it is. I love the horror, the world building, the themes of dehumanization and and identity issues and otherness and strangeness. Seriously, your horror is so well done.
I'm invested in all the characters and Io most of all. I like the choices you offer for their characterization. The interactions are interesting and intriguing, and I like the amount of opportunities for whumpy stuff. And serious props for bringing new, interesting text for basically every choice. It's a lot of words to be written and I appreciate the effort that goes into it.
I probably need to replay it several times to fully understand the connections in the plot, which is to say that you introduce the plot elements well and make it feel good to follow, while keeping a deeper depth to it.
Your writing makes me want to continue writing myself and I love stories that can do that :)
