This game changed my life holy shit. My friend made me play it and I wasn't expecting much, but I ended up sobbing my eyes out multiple times on call while I played. 2 times I cried so hard I gagged.
The friend in question is friends with someone who apparently play-tested the game for ya, so maybe my dramatics have already been brought to your attention, lol.
also.. LUPIN III REFERENCE? MY SPECIAL INTEREST MENTIONED BY GENZOU? That alone almost brought be to tears. Carrot, never feel bad about putting silly references in your games, I am living proof that someone out there will love it.
Without spoiling anything: I really relate to Gidget the most, and even though She's not EXACTLY what I am, it's still the closest most accurate and deep representation of that general group I've ever seen. The feelings and thoughts she expresses are on point, as well as the symbolism and metaphors. The game basically called me out.
This was more than a game, it was an experience. Right now I've searched the internet and found maybe 7 pieces of fanart and 10 fanfictions, and I've created a discord server to find more Our Wonderland fans and so far have 2 members besides myself. This game deserves way more fans than it has right now, I'm gonna do my best to spread the word. I don't have twitter, but Carrot, if you're reading this, thank you for making this game.
I often feel like my life is as good as over as a 19-year-old (almost 20 in a few months) who hasn't made any kind of popular groundbreaking genre-defining media yet, I feel like I should just give up art. I already gave up my lifelong dream of becoming an artist and instead I'm in college for normal job stuff and can't turn back now (tons of debt). I've always wanted to make a visual novel or a game or some kind of interactive media and tell a story, but I feel like everything's been done and I really am embarrassingly defeatist about my own mortality, life, and what I'll leave behind.
This game was so utterly just.. AWESOME, that it makes me (...jealous. but also) slightly hopeful that maybe I'll be able to do something similar one day. obviously not as good as this, though.
