Short description of the game
A game about Love and Hesitation

Development Process
Orignially the game is about use space button to move in text. It sounds interesting, but it's not very neat after thought. That original idea are easily to be more puzzle driven than emotional driven. That idea come from this sentence:
"You said you need space, so I give you. Now you leave me."
and player could add "space" in this sentence, to truly give space to the words. But adding space is something too free if I allow every text in the game to be editable. And if I add some text not editable, it will be not very neat....so I give up on that idea.

The backspace is a much better idea for create emotion than space. Backspace can be easily related to regret and repeatedly do and undo.

Did you work in a multicultural/multilingual team over different time-zones?
Nope, this is a solo project
