Yowch, that hit pretty hard. Really related to a lot of this one, amazing work...
OOF this one doesn't pull its punches, some of these lines will be ringing in my ears for the next few days. That section about hiring voice actors making the player feel dirty for pitching them like gladiators is just, ahhhhh that is such a real feeling and it fuckin sucks and this game captures that grim acceptance and resignation so dang well. Amazing work!
Incredible, powerful experience. The text felt so raw and the cut-up descriptions, forcing you to press continue again and again after each sentence really adds to the tone. It really felt like I was in the protagonist's thoughts with the way it was paced.
thank you for playing!! glad you liked the short paragraphs, i was worried it might get annoying.
i mainly wrote that way because it was easier for me to read while playtesting! i have trouble focusing on longer blocks of text.
