itch.io

No, this is my fault. I apologize!

The issue should now be fixed.

The quickest “solution” would be to reload a previous save and try again, either one of your own saves or one of the available autosaves.

Otherwise, please create a save at your current point.

If you are playing the browser version, simply reloading any save file should apply the fix.

If you are playing the downloaded version, you will need to download the game again for the fix to be implemented. You can delete the previous folder afterward.

Now you just have to select “Talk” and try again.

I apologize again for the inconvenience!

Thank you!

That is… most unfortunate…

The game creates frequent autosaves, so the latest one may not be too far from where you left off!

You can find the autosaves in the load menu by clicking on the capital letter “A”.

I apologize for that. Could you perhaps explain where exactly you are in the game?

My assumption is that you might be at this point:

Is it after the talk where you choose a longer sequence of two choices, Myrddin appears slightly over the textbox, and afterward he is not in the mood for most things?

Hey!

It’s a joy to hear from you!

It is less of a joy to hear about the trouble that found you. I can only hope that those issues get resolved, and that this little place can ease life’s struggles, even if only a little.

At the very least, I hopefully won’t annoy you with too many bugs, since I think most of them have been taken care of. Then again, I did literally change the whole structure of the game internally… so let’s hope you will not encounter anything, haha.

That being said, I held true to what I said in the Road to 0.3 devlog. I think there will be many moments where you will have a fun time, but ultimately, I recommend going into this new chapter when you feel well enough.

Without spoiling anything, I will simply paraphrase what I said in that devlog:

“The warnings on the store page will be important here.”

As for the emotional part, this chapter does focus quite heavily on that aspect, so I am curious to hear your thoughts after you finish it.

And yes, unfortunately, romance itself is not the main focus of the game.

It is more about how the game uses emotions.

What kind of emotion someone feels depends on the player’s perspective, and all of those perspectives are valid. It has also been very interesting to see the different opinions in the comments, where there seems to be a clear divide between two major ways of feeling about Myrddin.

As you wish, I will try my best to make that true! Of course, it would have to fit the current setting, but I think I could implement something like that.

I cannot promise it, but I can promise that I will try!

Perhaps I will be able to add something lore specific… like… maybe a crown made out of water?

We will see!

Again, thank you for being here. I hope everything is and goes well!

Have a wonderful week!

Ah! No, this is completely my fault.

I received this bug report earlier and have already fixed it. If it isn’t too much trouble ( I am assuming you are playing the downloaded version) please download the game again. That should resolve the issue!

Apologies!

Hello!

“When Myrddin turns into a chibi the second time”

Oh no…

There should only be one section where he turns into that, and after he turns back, he should remain normal. Was he normal first and then suddenly turned into chibi again?

In case I am misunderstanding, and he did not actually turn from normal to chibi again, then to proceed, you would need to complete the other interactions too, such as talk, fact, and joke.

Much appreciated, thank you!

Hey!

Thank you for the report! It was really helpful, and I have fixed both issues. They were simply oversights on my part.

Though in retrospect, that whole “Ask me if I am a tree?” thing is really silly, lol.

I’m glad to hear that this update has some benefits! And same, I also tended to forget while testing, haha.

Thank you again!

Yes, that is a bug caused by the developer (me) being too careless with certain code structures.

I plan to upload a patch next week, where starting a new save will be mandatory. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as I had to restructure almost everything in order to protect future versions from this kind of bug.

As a small compromise, I will be unlocking the skip forward option, so players can return to the point of their previous save as quickly as possible.

I apologize for the inconvenience and trouble (I am really sorry!)

Thank you!

Huh? You must have imagined it…

Wow, it is truly gratifying to see that you continued the game and honored it with another narration! Thank you so much for your efforts!

Once again, this is also very helpful when it comes to identifying things I can improve in this version.

Have a great weekend!

Oh, please, not at all. I have actually implemented save naming now, and it has genuinely helped me with testing and keeping track of where I am myself. So thank you!

I will also enable the option to quickly skip scenes that have already been seen and read. All related bugs should hopefully have been taken care of.

That being said, I changed a lot in the code. In terms of structure, almost everything has been reorganized. Meaning…

I am intentionally going to break all save files with the coming patch!

…

Yes. My answer to accidentally breaking some saves is to break all of them.

I know this is frustrating, but I think it is necessary in the long run.

Previously, almost everything was placed inside one main hub. Now, I have created a smaller main hub, with the individual chapters placed into their own files.

This means that anything new or major I add for 0.4 will also be placed into its own file, and should not cause the same problems for previous saves going forward.

My previous approach might have been fine if this were a complete game released all at once, but it’s not. It was quite naive of me to simply assume that everything would remain safe.

Still, I hope that being able to skip everything already seen will help soften the issue.

I have not tracked the time yet, which I will do, but simply skipping through should bring players back to the latest ending fairly quickly.

I originally planned to change the main menu depending on the latest ending reached. For example, the main menu would turn completely black after the Chapter II ending.

I might pursue that once the game is fully finished, but for now, to keep things consistent across all platforms, I am keeping the same main screen for everything.

Thank you for your kind words! I am a bit of a sucker for details like that, and I have been restraining myself from overdoing it.

However, this is another thing I would love to pursue more after completing development.

Thank you! I also considered giving the book a voice, but I decided against it for lore reasons.

…Also because, considering the amount of lines, it would not exactly be… cheap.

Thank you again. (You’ll probably read that line a lot, haha.)

I personally don’t go too deeply into the AI image topic, so I’m not very knowledgeable about it.

I know what most people probably know, and I also understand that the current perception is that, if a game has an AI tag, the first assumption will usually be that the images are AI generated.

That is a bit of a disadvantage.

My game is flagged as AI-generated, with the small line specifically mentioning “Code.” However, most people probably do not really see that.

I am thinking about removing the AI tag, since it would not go against any itch.io rules, and instead simply explaining myself how AI is being used on the store page.

Mainly to distance the game from the stigma of “AI tag = AI-generated art.”

But I am not sure yet.

Especially since, and I am always very vocal about this, the game is inspired by DDLC. The art style itself, while having its own touch, has clearly also taken notes from DDLC.

But oh well.

This is genuinely very fun, so please let all the thoughts out!

I want those who theorize to feel rewarded when they are right, or motivated when they see that the story goes in another direction.

I will never rewrite the story I have simply because someone commented everything I had planned.

It is quite interesting to see how most theories seem to have a similar origin, only to then branch off into different directions.

I am genuinely curious if anyone will be able to analyze everything hidden in Chapter III, since… a lot of lore was hidden in plain sight just cryptic.

And a lot of things will be answered, probably, starting directly in Chapter IV.

And Tumblr… me too, lol. I am currently prioritizing the patch, which I plan to release next week or so.

And… eh, I know what they mean! I am just a noob. Not… whatever is lower in the ranking than a noob.

Thank you for the offer, but I should not put the work of finding sources onto you, haha.

I will go into detail about the plan I have in mind in the release devlog for Chapter IV.

That is still a while away, but I think you might be a bit shocked by just how much is already preplanned.

I will say, though, having “falling action” in a video game like this for an entire version might not be the best idea.

Oh, that is interesting!

I see your points. Yes, I definitely see the similarities.

Welp, this is the part where I cannot really go into detail.

Just a few vague maybe, maybe not thoughts:

Good recovery! And good luck with your activities!

Have a great weekend!

Hey! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time playing and reading!

I am currently a bit occupied, so I apologize for simply copying and pasting a previous comment of mine regarding a similar question:

To directly address your concern, the art used in Interact With Me! is not AI generated.

I have mentioned in earlier comments that I am working with a freelance artist to make developing the game more manageable. The artwork was made by that artist, who is also credited in the game’s credits.

So rest assured, the art is not stolen or AI generated!

Thanks!

Hey!

I’m honored to hear that you had a good time playing! Many thanks!

Based on your description, yes, you have reached the current ending of the game. More specifically, you reached the ending of Chapter III, which is the newest version released recently.

The game is still in active development and will continue from where the latest chapter ended.

Hey!

I apologize for the lack of accessibility.

Currently, there are no active plans for translations beyond the English version.

That does not mean I am excluding them. On the contrary, I would love to pursue translations, but only after the game’s development is complete.

Again, I apologize.

Warm regards!

Unfortunately, he’s a little busy hanging around…

Thank you for telling me despite your condition! Truly!

Please get completely well soon!

I know issues like this aren’t exactly uncommon. Nowadays, they are probably quite common, actually. But they still frustrate me a lot.

I tested the game multiple times, thought everything should be fine, and then it turns out that literally the beginning is bugged for those who load an older save…

Shame on me!

But I suppose this is the big disadvantage of being a novice. You have no idea how long it took me just to figure out how to move the textbox with Chibi Myrddin and add a small dissolve effect to it, haha.

And yes, please never hesitate to share suggestions or thoughts on how the game could be improved!

…

Unless the improvement is getting rid of Myrddin. That one would be a bit difficult.

Naming save files

Yes, I will look into that and see if I can get it done. I may have even disabled that myself all the way back when I was creating the UI, though I am not completely sure. Hopefully, it should be easy enough to restore or add.

Skipping

I had already been thinking about this before releasing the new update, and now I am thinking about it even more, especially considering how much I underestimated the whole save and load system.

Admittedly, I completely pushed aside the thought that changing existing code could obviously cause major issues. I was so focused on everything else that I only realized it a full day after release.

Because of that, I may add an option to unlock skipping once a playthrough has been completed. The main reason I don’t have skipping enabled by default is that certain things became a bit buggy when skipping was enabled. At the time, I was not confident enough to deal with that.

I am not exactly confident now either, lol, but I will look into it.

Text adjustment

This is something I have actually been thinking about since yesterday as well.

Not text size directly, but things like text color. I have not played many visual novels, so I am quite ignorant about what is considered standard, necessary, or expected, and what I should be paying attention to.

So adding a text size option is a great idea, though I would first have to look into how to implement it.

The only compromise would be that players should know it might not fit every scene perfectly, since the default option will likely remain the most optimized one.

Save problems

I will look into it!

Typo

Please. A typo? Me?

That would be an understandable mistake.

I missed two whole words, lol. It should be: “I may be able to advise you…”

Conclusion

Genuinely… seeing all of my mistakes, in a funny way, only strengthens my desire to do a complete overhaul of the game at some point.

With that approach, I wouldn’t have to worry as much about carrying everything forward step by step. There is also the benefit of already having a complete foundation to build upon, allowing me to refine and adjust it into a more exceptional and personal experience.

Spoilers for the Version 0.3!

I’m… always worried, haha.

This is the first time I have heard this song. I am not familiar with the artist or the context around it, so I am probably way off with my answer, but here is my impression.

I think it is obviously about isolation, but more specifically about being forced into it, not only by outside influences, but by oneself too? It feels like a place someone wants to escape from, yet keeps returning to because it has become the place they are most comfortable with. A sort of “I hate it, but I don’t want to be seperated from it” situation.

Though the lyrics themselves seem to mock that way of living a little. As if you are telling yourself you want to escape, but then take the very first excuse to return.

Perhaps there is also an implication of social anxiety, depression, or something along those lines.

That is my impression after listening to it.

And to compare it to Myrddin… hmm. Based on my impression, which could be completely wrong, meaning the comparison that follows might make no sense, I don’t think it mirrors Myrddin. There is no comfort in that room for him.

He does tell you that he likes staring at the wall, or that the clouds are relaxing, and things in that direction, but that is simply because there is nothing else to hold onto.

We also now know that the time he spent there was not only unpleasant because of the isolation, but also because of literal physical torture.

I have read some mentioning that they thought this chapter would introduce a scene or mention of Myrddin harming himself.

I would argue that, despite his comments about being alone, he has never actually shown signs of that kind of mental health struggle. Quite the opposite, really. He is rather optimistic, especially now that you are there.

Now I will place this part into its own window, since I’m not sure whether you would want to hear my perspective on it.

These thoughts go a little deeper into the matter. They are not spoilers, but I will leave it up to you to decide whether you want to read them or not, even if you have finished everything currently available in the game.

Oh… this is rather the tame version. Perhaps there is some good in not being completely free when it comes to resources, haha.

Not going beyond what is shown, the book does not justify the torture.

In fact, it is more like, “Hey, look. See this thing. I don’t care what you think about it, but this should convince you that there is a problem here.” And later, “I am the evil…”

There was never an act of presenting oneself as the hero, the good side, or anything similar. It is just a fact being stated, with the claim that no lies are being told. And then a final threat.

I don’t know what you are talking about. That is clearly written in a book by a stranger.

Wait, you didn’t get to the snow globe section? After the very first craft, the apple, Myrddin should not let you proceed with talking, for example, because he is too excited to craft something else too.

How… how did you manage to skip that?

Oh, you mean the little silly story Myrddin tells you about, where he also says he couldn’t decipher all of it?

Hm. Idk.

Thank you so much for accompanying me on this journey!

Warm regards!

First of all, I’m happy to hear that you have had an enjoyable time so far!

Thank you for playing!

There are three main reasons why I deliberately,(in the second case perhaps not quite so deliberately, haha) chose to have the dialogue the way it is.

…This became a bit longer than expected (apologies for that!) so I will place it into its own little window.

And… that is the general gist of it.

Again, thank you!

Have a wonderful week!

I’m glad to hear that Interact With Me! managed to spark your interest!

To directly address your concern, the art used in Interact With Me! is not AI generated.

I have mentioned in earlier comments that I am working with a freelance artist to make developing the game more manageable. The artwork was made by that artist, who is also credited in the game’s credits.

So rest assured, the art is not stolen or AI generated!

Personally, I haven’t really seen AI art in this specific style, but to be fair, I’m not especially well versed in that area.

And to clear up the confusion:

AI tools have been used only for coding-related purposes, such as organizing work, learning programming concepts, and clarifying technical questions.

I wanted to be fully transparent about that, which is why I added the tag. I understand if that affects your decision to play the game, but I want to clarify that the AI usage specifically refers to certain coding aspects.

And don’t worry, you weren’t rude at all! In fact, thank you for asking instead of simply assuming!

Warm regards!

Hey!

First of all, thank you for playing!

…Especially when the developer, me, seems to have made quite a serious mistake. I believe I messed up rather badly regarding save files. Without going into too much detail, several changes I made ended up affecting some older saves.

I will try to see if there is any way to fix it, but unfortunately, the chances seem rather slim.

Because of that, starting a new game may be necessary.

I sincerely apologize.

First of all, thank you so much for playing!

I’m very happy to hear that I was able to give you an enjoyable and interesting experience!

Especially since this is the very first “review” of the new update, and such a gracious one at that, it really is gratifying. So again, thank you!

Now, onto your thoughts…

Yeah! It’s really fun and interesting to go through other people’s thoughts and theories, so I definitely recommend doing that.

There is a long thread between Me Chan and LJEphr that you might enjoy reading through as well (Though again, I am not confirming or denying anything, haha).

I am honored to have you on this journey!

Thank you so much!

Warm regards!

Well... at least I was able to hold on to the positive message for about half an hour...

Aaaaah, what a wonderful introduction to a new version.

I am terribly sorry about that. I tried to figure out exactly why this happens, but I don't know for certain yet.

Regardless, I have implemented some failsafe statements at the beginning of the new entry, so they should override any strange behavior that may occur.

At the very least, I didn't encounter the issue myself while testing and jumping between several files from different points in time.

I will look into it properly once I am more rested. It is, let’s just say, far beyond my usual sleeping time, so I am definitely not working with my fullest brain power right now haha.

Again, I am sorry. Bugs that directly prevent progression are a serious issue and inexcusable.

Thank you for the report! I hope this temporary fix resolves it for now.

Thank you! Reading those words truly means a lot.

I'll be honest, I am quite nervous about the reception. Putting engagement and popularity aside, I mainly mean the reaction of those who have already played the game and enjoyed it.

So, for now, I will hold on to this comment while you are still positive, haha.

Jokes aside, I am very interested in hearing your thoughts, as well as LJEphr's (if LJEphr decides to play this chapter, of course)  I cannot say with certainty whether the update is great or horrible (lol), but I can definitely say that there is a lot to uncover, think about, and definitely overthink, haha.

Please take all the time you want. Whenever you feel like playing it, I will be waiting with both excitement and fear to hear your opinions and thoughts!

Thank you, Me chan!

P.S. As a complete social media noob who was already overwhelmed when creating that account, I will try my best.

P.P.S. I was instantly humbled when I saw how beautifully organized your page was.

Warm regards!

I apologize for the confusion.

I had planned to release it hours ago, but I have been working on it for quite some time and only just finished revising, reviewing, and cleaning everything up

Chapter III will be uploaded in just a few minutes!

Oh, that is quite ironic, haha.

Wow... This is... This is fantastic! That is incredibly cool.

And as someone who played the older Tomodachi game, I am very curious to see what strange things he will end up doing lol.

I hope nothing as strange as what happens in the upcoming major version, which I am planning to upload later today...

(I apologize on his behalf if he does.)

Thank you for going through all that effort! This is awesome!

Thank you. It is truly an honor to hear that IWM could potentially earn a place among your favorite games. (That is genuinely very gratifying)!

It also makes me happy to hear that many of the intended elements do actually, well, what they were intended to do, haha. So it's very relieving to hear your experience and thoughts regarding that part of the game.

I hope I can maintain that level of praise with the following update and avoid disappointing you. Maybe I’ll even be able to elevate the experience a little more.

Thank you (very much) for playing, and I hope to see you in the next update, which is coming very soon!

Warm regards!

Many thanks! It's truly delightful to hear that you had an enjoyable time with the story! 

...And your thoughts made for a very interesting read.

Should you?

Ah, that explains the issue. The game is not optimized for mobile web, so many elements may look broken or behave strangely there. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The only solutions for mobile right now would be to use an emulator, or, possibly, enable desktop view or PC view in the browser settings.

Again, sorry for the extra trouble!

Warm regards!

Hey!

Do you mean it is hard to read because the text is difficult to see, or because it is difficult to understand?

If it is the first one, may I ask whether you are perhaps playing on a mobile phone?

¡Muchísimas gracias! Me siento honrado de saber que la historia te haya hecho sentir algo tan fuerte. ¡Y espero seguir manteniendo ese estándar y ofrecer la mejor experiencia que pueda!

Disculpa si algunas palabras suenan un poco raras o están mal usadas, intenté traducir esto.

¡Gracias!

¡Un cordial saludo!

Thank you for the privilege of having you make an account (with a perfectly fitting name, if I may add) and for giving me a smile while I work on the next update!

May your heart be light, and may gentle days gather around you like golden petals carried by a quiet breeze.

Thank you for walking this path with me!

Warm regards!

No worries at all!

I did read it already, but unfortunately, I have to restrain myself from joining the discussion and simply observe from outside the café while the rain falls...

Not at all! It's genuinely a great compliment that you would go out of your way to do that. 

I will mention this once to avoid any possible misunderstanding. I kindly ask that the game not be published anywhere else, especially not behind a paywall!

This is not directed at you specifically, of course! I simply think it is something worth stating clearly when it comes to accessing the game’s files

That is truly honoring to hear! And yes, I do plan to keep this version of the game completely free. 

I would not entirely close the door on possibly creating an overhauled version in the future, one where I would have more resources to fully explore everything I would like to include, if the main game gathers enough interest after it's finished

Thank you for worrying! While I won't deny that the process can be straining at times, comments like yours make much of that feel worthwhile. Before being a developer, I consider myself more of a writer, so seeing this much engagement with the story is genuinely meaningful to me.

Oh, I would never laugh.

...

Okay... perhaps “never” is too definitive, but so far I have read all of them with nothing but interest and anticipation!

Hmm... we will see whether that viewpoint about Myrddin and the Outers/the Presence, changes with the next update, or only grows stronger...

I will assume it is what I am thinking of (and please ignore the spelling and grammar, lol.)

Admittedly, I didn't expect anyone to try reading the files at this point, which is why some things are still a bit... unclean (anyone with coding knowledge would probably have a massive facepalm moment, haha) But no harm was done! If anything, it's good if it made you more curious. 

Since it is still early work, though, I would ask that you please only speak about it vaguely. Mostly because it is material that will still be refined and overhauled. Thank you!

I will say I am very glad I didn’t put my “Chapter Three” notes in there... Wouldn’t want to accidentally destroy the fun and theorizing, haha.

I'd hate to overpromise and then fail to deliver, but I  do think Chapter III is going to be quite a ride. An interesting one, for sure.

On another note... sometimes I wonder if there is someone out there putting “your mom” into the name section, only to be surprised with, well, an actual response, haha.

Thank you for your time, your enjoyment, and the high regard you have for the game!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I’m very glad to hear that you had a good time with the game!

Unfortunately, I do not currently have many (or really any haha) social media accounts yet. 

For now, I regularly post updates through the devlog on this page.

It's very kind of you to want to support the game to that extent. I truly appreciate the thought and intention behind it!

Thank you!

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

I’m glad to hear you were still able to enjoy the game. Thank you!

That sounds like quite a frustrating issue you had to deal with. I sincerely apologize for that, and for the reduced enjoyment it caused.

It's also something I haven't encountered or heard about before, but I will do my best to investigate what the issue could be.

Could you tell me which version you were playing on? (Browser, macOS, Windows, or the Linux build?)

Thank you for the high praise and for the bug report. I truly appreciate it!

Warm regards!

Please always feel free to comment as much as you want! I will always try my best to respond properly in return.

At this point, I don't think I am planning to create an official guide. 

The game is built around mystery and hidden details, whether they are placed in plain sight or hidden between the lines. There are many things tied to different routes, along with small details that depend on very specific conditions, to the point where I'm not even sure if players have discovered them yet, haha.

Because of that, I'd like the experience to remain as "mysterious" as possible, without directly guiding players toward specific discoveries as the developer. 

A community based search, in a way.

Of course, as a player, I fully encourage sharing your findings and anything you discover! Be it a comment, guide, a walkthrough, or something similar.

It is still early, so my thoughts on this, creating an official guide that shows everything, may change.

That being said, to offer a little reassurance while keeping things as vague as possible, something like an “Isolation” ending would only be possible if you deliberately choose that path and actively aim for it.

I apologize for not being able to provide more on that front.

And thank you for always commenting, really!

Warm regards!

Thank you so much for playing!

Oh, Malaysia is such a beautiful country. I’d really love to visit one day!

Yes, I hope so.

The situation around it has actually been quite funny, and something of an emotional rollercoaster.

The main reason for the increased interest is that Interact With Me! managed to appear in multiple popular sections. The rollercoaster part is that it had been delisted for a week shortly before that, which had the complete opposite effect, haha.

So you can imagine my surprise when I saw the game not only being indexed again, but also appearing in Popular & New.

------

Spoilers:

That... I actually forgot about the key.

One critique I would have for the show is that I wish the worldbuilding had been expanded further. Elements like the Diamair had so much potential. There are many strong introductions throughout the show, but they often do not explore that potential as much as they could have.

For example, Daegal, the boy who lied about being a druid. It could have been very interesting if he had become Merlin’s apprentice, or something along those lines. Instead, he, well... yes.

If I had to imagine a conversation between Merlin and Myrddin, it would certainly be interesting. For one, it would mean that Myrddin is free from the cube.

If it were Season 1 Merlin, the more naive and cheerful version of him, then... Myrddin would definitely be a bad influence.

Season 5 Merlin, however, the colder and almost ruthless version when dealing with anyone, could create a very interesting dynamic.

I completely agree with you on that. Of course, there are still some outliers nowadays that manage to capture that kind of feeling, but overall, yes, I agree.

A completely different genre, but take the detective era, for example. Shows like Psych and The Mentalist were quite popular then, and they were very enjoyable.

And yes, absolutely. Katie McGrath as Morgana was also excellent. Her character development is quite tragic. She goes from kindhearted, to confused, to vengeful, to isolated, to hateful, and finally to complete madness.

------

I am quite ignorant when it comes to voice actors and actresses. I know some of the bigger names because of certain games, but I don't think they would necessarily fit here.

Funny enough, actual voice acting, not the beeping voice, was always something I considered. Only slightly, because of the cost, but for an enhanced version, it could technically be a possibility.

As for what I imagine his voice sounding like... hmm. Perhaps a little boyish at first. Friendly, and slightly higher in tone. Then, as time passes and the acquaintance grows, it could slowly become more vibrant and calming.

I actually had someone in mind, a commission artist, who also did the humming in the beginning.

That is quite the plot twist.

I am glad I did not spoil it. Imagine managing to avoid spoilers all this time, only to be spoiled here, of all places.

...

It would have been a tiny bit funny (sorry!) but also very tragic.

I can relate to that for sure. I don't know why, but I often find myself avoiding the final two episodes, or even just the final episode, of a show. I genuinely don't know why it happens so often. Perhaps it is that feeling of attachment, where watching the ending makes it truly over. Leaving at least one episode unwatched gives me the unconscious feeling that it is still there.

Or something like that lol.

It's still crazy to hear. I will say, though, that it is an ending worth watching the whole show again for, simply to appreciate the conclusion more.

Also, funny coincidence, it was a weekly family gathering for us as well when I was younger, watching the episodes as they aired.

Not at all. This was quite pleasant, and I hope I didn't take up too much of your time.

Best of luck with the busy month ahead!

Thank you again.

Have a wonderful week!
