This may be terrible, but I'm having a lot of fun analyzing its surprisingly coherent (if inadvertent) messaging criticizing amatonormativity/allonormativity , as well as possible hints of criticism of heteronormativity specifically. That is, I know you referenced the "lesbian of the pool meme" very briefly as a silly joke, but interpreting the blank-slate, self-insert protagonist as a lesbian who feels obligated to carry out heteroromantic/heterosexual relationships is surprisingly well-supported.

I'm still figuring out the (completely accidental) symbolism of the canned tuna. I'm going to pretend the notable design choice of it having an otter logo instead of a fish logo was a deliberate choice. Is it because Zecherias seems adorable/alluring but is in fact a vicious predator coercive in his intimate relationships, just like an otter? (Yes, otters can be very disturbing in their mating practices; proceed with caution.)

I absolutely love this. :D While the game is entirely a joke with no deeper meaning, I do appreciate the analysis and find it a lot of fun. Thank you for taking your time doing this.

The protagonist can be of any gender, but that is an interesting idea. However, I promise Zecharias will not pursue someone whose sexuality would cause them to not be interested in him.

The canned tuna is an inside joke between me and a friend, but I think that would be an interesting comparison. Zecharias is a dangerous person who seems sweet on the surface, and has association with water.

Thanks again!
