This was really incredible! I came here from the theme song on YouTube and decided it was time to finally give this a play and I loved this a lot. I didn't actually play "It gets so lonely here" yet so I will be checking that out next when I have time. The way the mystery unfolds is amazing, the art/aesthetics are solid, and the music & sound design in storytelling is just genius as well. I love timeloops, I love murders intertwined with romance, I love this sort of codependency going on, the music is just fantastic and complements the story so well... The way it feels more fantastical, fantasy, etc but then it catches you off guard with glitching effects. It really sells the emotion and vibe. There's a lot I love in here. Keep up the good work!

Okay, I let it sit a bit more I'm gonna say some more in depth thoughts on this game.

First of all: thank you, thank you, thank you for telling me I exist to people. That boys like me are seen, and that we deserve our stories to be told. You really should make more stories like this.

I love certain aspects of Periwinkle's character and how they relate to me. I really connected to how he loves fashion, was forced to conform to other people's image as a fashion model, avoids committed romance because of how it went badly for him -- while still wanting to fulfill his sexual needs. Those are all very very real things.

And Pastille's character too. I relate so much to hiding things, and people placing expectations on you, and people thinking you're a gender you're not.

It also goes without saying I love how refreshing it felt for aromantic, polyamory, intersex, etc to be mentioned so casually without reservations.

I'm so glad Periwinkle and Pastille found each other. I'm so glad you wrote this story. You wrote this so well. I hope you make more games about queer boys in the future.

I'm gonna cry, this hit in all the right spots. It's amazing.
