Been going back on forth on posting this for awhile, but ultimately sharing this with the devs won out.  This game is amazing.  I'm not normally into games like this, but I took a chance on it and I'm glad I did.  The dialogue felt more real than honestly any other visual novel I've read,  It felt like a lot of personal and lived experience bled out into the characters of the game.  I've recommended the game to all my furry friends

On a more personal note.  Felicia is why I am still alive today.  I was struggling with what I now understand was gender dysphoria and it was causing a depression that was bad enough that I was actually making plans on ending my life.  I played a demo of the game on a recommend and specifically the Sylvia route's Felicia scene gave me pause and the more I thought about it, the more I saw myself in Felicia and the more I realized I'd been saying similar things and didn't know why.  

Turns out I'm trans, and I used this questioning as a starting off point to look into myself.  Now I'm on a journey to find my true self and gave up on my plans to check out of this world early.  To the people who wrote Felicia, you cracked my egg and gave me a life changing adventure, and I'll be eternally grateful for that.

That's all I had to say.  10/10 game and you deserve all the love your game gets <3

Thank you so much for giving our story a chance and for sharing your experience on how it's helped you! The effect our VN has had, especially how people have resonated and been inspired by Felicia to come to a realization of their true self has been the most rewarding part of making Mice Tea.

We hope to keep seeing you and that you'll enjoy our future stories!

Reading your post honestly hit me right in the chest. I always knew this game had heart, but seeing how deeply it reached you really shows how powerful good writing can be. The way the characters speak and behave always felt raw to me too, like the devs poured real pieces of themselves into every moment, and it is incredible to see how that authenticity connected with you in such a meaningful way. Felicia’s arc was one of those stories that stuck with me long after the screen went dark and I always felt there was something quietly honest in the way she expressed herself. Hearing how her story helped you understand your own feelings and kept you going is unbelievably moving. I am genuinely glad you’re still here and choosing yourself every day. Stories can be strange mirrors sometimes and I think it’s amazing that this one helped you take a step toward clarity and compassion for yourself. I hope your journey stays full of support and safety and that you keep growing into the version of you that feels right. And big kudos to the devs for creating something that doesn’t just entertain but actually reaches people when they need it most.

I’m really glad you shared this, because I’ve had moments where a game hit me at exactly the right time too, and what helped me back then was learning to trust things that felt genuine - whether it was a story, a character or even just well-explained guidance when I was completely lost. That’s why my biggest piece of advice is to keep leaning into things that give you clarity and honesty, the same way I rely on structured reviews when I need to understand something new before jumping into it. A page like https://icasino-reviews.co.nz/royal-vegas-casino-50-free-spins/ is a good example - not because of the games themselves, but because everything is broken down clearly and transparently, so you actually know what you’re getting into. And that mindset helps in life too: follow the things that explain themselves honestly, treat you with respect, and don’t hide the fine print. Your reaction to this game shows you already have that instinct - it spoke to you because it was real, and now you’re using that clarity to move toward a version of yourself that feels true.
