I love this so much: the characters, the art, the music, but I especially wanted to appreciate that yummy yummy GUI!! It's so polished and cool (really loved the ticket stub-look of the dialogue box) and the little animations when opening the menu or when making choices are so great.

Also, I know the symbolism is probs unintentional given how far-reaching it is. But when Micah talked about not wanting to leave out of fear of what's waiting for him out there, that hits me hard unexpectedly because it is so similar to my worries as someone currently inflicted with one of those major illness with a low survival rate. It got me stuck at home for the better part of the year and while cognitively, anyone would want to be cured, I can't help but worry about what's waiting for me after survival, like if I stop dissociating from the real world, with its shitty and frustrating politics and climate crisis, etc.

So yeah!! A really big tangent but I guess thank you specifically for making a character I can relate to. It kinda help made my fears feel normal since a lot of people I'd confide to can't understand because, who wouldn't want to live, right? Things like that

I hope that's not too awkward!! I just wanted to show how such a minor thing can connect deeply with the right person SDNFKANFK

Not awkward at all dont worry!
Relatability is always a huge focus with my games so I'm so glad you were able to get that from Micah! It genuinely makes me so happy that people are able to enjoy the characters that in depth (insert a sobbing emoji here that i cant find) 

If youre curious about more:
Micah's fears are actually directly to him being trans and afraid of what the world was like, because all he's known has been the hatred and lack of information on it before the carnival, and then the carnival itself. 

That said, I completely understand what you mean! Although mine is more mental illness than physical illness, that fear tends to always eat at you. <3
