Oh shit!! THE Julia?!?
Sorry, don't feel remotely compelled to read all of this, but I do just have a lot of feelings and thoughts, and I'm far too neurospicy to know how to cork that shit up to this day.
Which... I don't desire to make you or anyone uncomfortable by parasocial feelings and awkwardness. At the end of the day, even though I watch Drawfee constantly, I know I don't know anyone.
But, to say, it really does add a weird sense of pain and protectiveness when you see someone so regularly (even through a screen) have their own traumas and vulnerability brought to light.
Especially with all that you do out in the wild west of the internet, this is an incredibly brave and honest thing to show. Though, maybe there are complex feelings felt to a piece like this; I don't mean to sound patronizing or accidentally condescending.
Rather, as being formerly in abusive/toxic relationships and situations, I just understand or empathize to the subject matter and expressed feelings at hand.
...That is to say, having had to/maybe still dealing with this traumatic situation... It's so uplifting to see you still fight the good fight and be around people who love you. After being in disbelief if was really you, I cross-searched and confirmed, but noticed how this was posted YEARS ago. Right now, as of me typing this, you're carrying a bouncing baby boy and seem so happy and supported by Jacob. I hope your old hauntings never tarnish the wonderful things you've accomplished; as a person, a partner, a professional, a parent.
Not that I will claim to know you at all, but more in sentiment that as someone who's been in similar muddy waters, I'm sure it's hard to remember you're not a villain due to manipulative fucks. It's incredibly fucking hard to get out of the fog of war that gaslighting and abuse can put you in.
I hope you and the crew keep fighting the good fight, and no matter what regrets, mistakes, traumas, pains you get, you remember how far you got.
Bless this tepid froggie, indeed.

Sorry, completely random peanut gallery!
Actually, as a trans sibling who has significant age gap and more experience, my little sibling just came out to me and having this sort of "spelling out" or alternative dialogue to help kind of explain intent and context is actually really invaluable to me!
So, honestly this has been perfect for helping my little egg baby trans sibling out in finding education and media.
That said, I really don't mind either way and think it would be a really cool piece of work whatever route you took, but it could be an interesting feature to allow altering a setting before playing to make narration optional, or even only unlocked after a second playthrough! Again, I very much like it as is, but might be a consideration that could play with how a piece is digested in future products. If not for fun potential weird shit shenanigans!
Really cool shit you make by the way, I had a manic moment of just binge-downloading a bunch of crap onto my laptop and I'm trying to speedrun through freeing up my poor computer's data. A fun fever dream getting to go through your works, haha!
Hey there!
I just wanted to say-- as simple a concept as it is, it's an incredibly fun and interesting way to compare experiences and gender with the folks!
Being genderfluid AFAB enby, there were definitely some eyebrows, laughs, philosophy, and cultural deconstruction that happened between cis and trans friends alike.
I plan on doing a "gender swapped" version of this with my little sibling who's starting to figure out they might be transfemme, and we talk about and compare our experiences. (They're AMAB, and I want to try and talk about some experiences, culture, and expectations they might have to face on their own journey.)
Actually, something I thought would make it easier and elevate the experience is if you're able to take those clear plastic paper covers, and everyone does their own-- then when you all group up, you all overlay them together or at a time and everyone draws on top with visibility!
Anyways, sorry for the long message, but this was a really neat exercise to share with the world! Love it!
Hey, uh... I don't know if it was something I was doing wrong, but I literally had to find a Youtuber in the comments, because the pack at the beginning never spawned the key I needed to open the very first door. I quit the game and reloaded and finally got it, but that could be a glaring issue.
I've figured out after stubbornly trying my way through... The key would land in my deck, and I have absolutely no idea or way of getting it into my hand. UI and where/how to use stuff is a little unintuitive, though I can tell that's part of some of the gameplay. However, it would be nice if there was just some more little tutorializing, even if it's subtle.
Anyways, haven't even played yet and I am HYPED as hell. The concept, aesthetic, and UI already seem absolutely sick!! If I remember, will edit comment to reflect experiences, but I understand this is a game in development still, so I'm just excited to wait patiently till I can throw money at you. :)
Thank you!!
Fucking raw, gorgeous. Made my intestines squirm. Made me guilty for my own thoughts. Made me think about that guilt. Made me proud of you and me and everyone whose survival was beautiful. This is a fucking beautiful and honest window. May I hope to gather the courage to throw my hurt through a pen like you did. Excellent.
Love it! I just wish I would be able to reset it so that I could choose the other choice? (All that comes up is the broken image after that, and somehow it still haunts me even when I try other browsers or on private!! How??)
I know that's probably against the point, but wondering if there's a way to do that?
