there’s a lot of really good lines in this game, but my favorite is (just like how bez says below) “good liars never stop”. i’m sure not many people can personally relate to a life spent changing your identity and yet never finding fulfillment and genuine love from others – but under your prose, it becomes a natural flow of life and almost feels like second nature. you can’t stop if you’re too good at becoming someone new, and how addictive it must feel escaping from the burdens of your old identity. the title is deliciously ironic to me; angela’s life is all about picking up and leaving and being caught in various ways each time, and yet it makes sense that you’ll never catch her leaving behind this game/practice/habit/lifestyle if she’s so adept at it.
regardless, i think you have a really beautiful writing style. i’ve always had a soft spot for that vague kind of narration that is, in a way, directed towards the reader and you’ll never catch me leaving pulls it off so well. i’m excited to read and play more works from you in the future!!
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words!! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
A very sad, interesting game. I am still processing it. "Good liars never stop."--that's a powerful line. The art & music were very beautiful.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
the aesthetic with the music creates such a distinct vibe that i really enjoyed! eerily haunting but somehow comfortingly familiar
Thank you so much for playing!!
