Idea about Perceptions

I love the perceptions for Periphery. However, can you please consider simplifying them? Its really hard to understand what you're trying to say, everything is so poetic its way ahead of what I can understand. English is my first language lol but not that level. Thank you for reading. Awesome game though.

Hey! I sincerely appreciate the feedback about the reading level of the text. I apologize that it’s isolating, because it’s not intended to be.

A big theme of Periphery Synthetic is how it’s your own personal journey. That includes how you interpret the text, and its uncommon words and sentence structures. A thesaurus has always been one of my favorite resources, because it shows how words can have so many meanings! I love learning new words, using and forgetting them, and having to look them up again!

I’m nearly a quarter through writing the expansion. Unfortunately, it’s using the same writing style. It’s not something I’m excited to compromise on. However, I’ll tell you one secret: the expansion includes some perceptions that could be considered a developer commentary mode. It’s not exactly what you’re asking, but I’m very excited to expand the worlds with what I think they mean to me.

Cheers!
