I've wanted to play this game for a while, ever since I saw hellfire peninsula's comment. Finally had enough spare change to get it. I really liked it, the gloominess for the lack of a better word. I really like reading through chats like this.

Probably one of the eeriest things is dropping your heart to someone who gives these noncommittal answers, and Ava calling these conversations "deep". It's a boon I think to find anyone willing to listen and not respond with abjectness---what Ava needed was someone to ask and listen earnestly and not brush the topic aside.
The sfx were good. Really ramps up the tension, talking to a one note person and hearing the same thing over and over. I like how it all takes place in this closed town. It's an interesting dynamic, Ava not being really close to her brother, and instead it's her brother's friend that looks out to her. Wasn't sure of bugkillr's gender but it's strange to think how hamer, at least with ava and zer0, focuses on isolating girls. I feel like it's on purpose.
