How many hours did it take  to code this game?

Interesting game with an important message. I wish the text on screen would disappear after I hit a button (I only got to read it after finishing the game) and that the letters you picked up showed art or text to the plater. I really enjoyed the concept and the mechanics.

What an important game to make.  

Good thing that I read the story on the game page before hitting play, the in game version of the text is only on screen for a brief moment.  I suggest this stay on screen until the player clicks a button to move onto the start screen.  I could definitely get the feeling of running away from staring eyes and others that made you uncomfortable.  Your bandaged character was running toward the papers (art, poetry, etc).  

You should feel good about making a game that highlights this history and trauma in a way that is expressed so personally.  I'm glad that Sidcup was able to help offer some new beginnings...but it's true that some scars don't fade.

Thank you for making this game.

It's a cool concept and theme but i couldn't read the whole story entirely in one go. I think it could've been a good idea to have spread out the story some more. Still a nice game tho and I like the theme and message it's trying to tell.

I liked your idea for the story on the game, but the first text explaining it only shows on screen too quick I had to screenshoot the game to be able to read it.
