Q2: When can I play DSL?

I'm going to release DSL to play testers in early access starting in  August 2023. I don't want DSL to be one of those games that stays early access for a long ass time, so I plan on fully releasing the game sometime in December 2023. These dates are subject to change, as I want to make sure that I am 100% happy with the state that DSL is in before I push it out into the wild.

Q2: What is the main objective of the game?

The main objective of Dysphoric_Soymilk_Lidocaine is to rid Mr. Pat of his existential sadness. The game is played out through 3 sessions. In these sessions, you'll be digging through his brain to acquire core memories that determine the your success as a robo-therapist. The game is finished when you've completed all three sessions. The end result of your time with Mr. Pat will be revealed once this is done. There are many endings.

Q3: What is the gameplay like?

The gameplay of DSL is similar to games like Yume Nikki in which there are many paths with branches leading to different memories within Mr. Pat's brain. A goal of mine is to make the player feel lost, which is why I chose to base the gameplay off of that Yume Nikki's branching path system to create this emotion.
