Hi, we just played this game and it was a beautiful experience. We are wondering about your thoughts on boundaries of tapu while playing. Playing the game itself doesn't seem inately tapu but the thoughts and stories that arise out of the game are very intimate which feels like they verge into the realm of tapu. Therefore eating and drinking while playing might be viewed as transgressing boundaries of tapu. Can you share your thoughts on this?

Kia ora e hoa, ka aroha, so sorry for my immense delay in response! Thank you for your kind words! In regard to your pātai, I think that while the state that this game puts you in this game can be an emotional, intense one, perhaps indeed verging on the feelings of taputanga, eating and drinking while playing is no more transgressing boundaries of tapu than any other intense conversation :) You have my blessing to eat and drink while playing!
