Hey. This was a really good game.

I've had a few points in my life where I legit thought I might lose someone, and. Playing this out gave me the way to think about that lost timeline, for lack of a better word. Where I would've had to mourn, instead of still getting to share my life with them. So thank you for that. Thanks for making good art.

Oh gosh, thank you so much! That is really heartening to hear, in a way. I wound up losing someone a few years after this came out, and without really thinking left them a few messages sort of processing some feelings. I think it is a little bit natural to want to speak to the dead.

I really appreciate your kind words <3

This was good, made me cry harder that any "game" befor. I really felt the story and was pulled in by it

I'm glad you enjoyed! For certain definitions of "enjoy", at least. Thank you for reading.

This really, really pulled at my heart.

Wonderful writing. I'd say more,but I'm still getting over the emotional ride this took me on. Seriously, amazing writing.

Thank you so much! That means an awful lot to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed :)
