I'll let it flow from here. This is what a game should be; a conversation. Since the 70s almost all games have been about kills, points, levelling up. Games have evolved into something else entirely. This game almost made me cry, it's about life. I hated the way it ended, the way it looked by the end, but it'll come back. I've been pruning a lot in my life. The "stress" is real. There's no choice but to see who we grow into.
P.S. This was a huge paragraph, 4-5x the size of this. Thanks to pruning, it's now somewhat coherent.
Thank you, I hope your pruning pays off.
