I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this gem, and moreso for all the comments that convinced me to play it. It feels only appropriate to now leave one of my own, in hopes that it contributes to someone else discovering this short and wonderful experience.
As a queer and neurodiverse person, almost every line of this spoke to me on a visceral level. I saw a lot of my past self in the protagonist, and it was chilling in its familiarity. I can't remember the last piece of media that left me feeling so, so very seen for what every moment felt like growing up.
The demon, meanwhile, reminded me a lot of the cold and impersonal state of dissociation that was always watching out for me, and took my hand when I was breaking. Its presence was a comfort that I didn't understand, but could always return to.
I felt so much of this reflected in the way these characters related to one another. And it made me really think... if someone could write and create something so familiarly relatable, then I must have really been a lot less alone in all of this than I had always felt back then.

For anyone who reads this and can relate to these words: You're less alone than you likely realize. We all are.
I hope that you'll take the time to enjoy this piece of thoughtfully created media, and I hope that it fills you with the same quiet peace that it did for me.
And thank you to the author, for making this enjoyable for free so that more folks who may find comfort in it have the opportunity <3
