I will reflect what Phoenix said in his comment. Sometimes just creating something like this - as short or as long as it is - can be pure catharsis, and nothing else. And despite its brevity, I feel that pain and hear that frustrations on all levels mentioned. I won't rate this, as it's more an "expression of thought", and valid, so I put it in a category of its own!

Thank you for sharing and submitting!

The entire time I felt like I was on a wild ride of a Reddit post revealing each bit of the character's life as it unfolded. Although I am pretty sure this is more of a journaling piece to both vent your frustrations and examine the emotions filling you up. 

I hope this game was cathartic and aloud closure on these feelings. I appreciate the addition of gameplay at the end, but don't be afraid to make a game that is pure dialog. You can stand behind a visual novel as your game.

If this was also a way to learn the engine then I hope you are able to enjoy the process of the next game. I will eagerly await it's arrival!
