This game is amazing!!
Disregarding the amazing voice acting and everything around the feelings the VA's brought to the table, this is such a good embodiment of hatred without anywhere for it to go or be controlled.
Usually I get annoyed by repetitiveness in games like these but this one really brought more to the story. It shows that the Doctor, even though he might have some sick idea of love, did love her nonetheless. He just didn't give her a choice on whether she could or not do the same.
Now regarding the VA's I love how they embody the thoughts of what I'd imagine a woman's thoughts, trapped in a man's control would have done.
I won't spoil much more for people who want to play it for themselves but I'd so, you 100% should!
And it really opened my eyes, as a man myself that there truly were situations like this in the past and seeing it from the woman's perspective made me more endearing and careful. I actually teared up at one moment in the game because I could relate to it myself.
Thank you for not only making such a beautiful game but also doing it for free.
It truly was one of those games that broke my heart when I realised it was finished.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭
Your take is really on point, and in a way that I don't think I've seen articulated by anyone up until this point - that, over the course of the game, there is this anger/resentment that builds, with no outlet for it to be released.
I'M SO GLAD ABOUT THAT, I thought it would be a clever way of utilizing a "loop" in a VN (since I love games that can use time loops in a clever way), but I did worry about it being a bit repetitive... And yes, honestly I've been doing some research on abusive relationships, and what "love" means to an abuser - and I do think that the Doctor, by some definition, "loved" Yumeko - but they probably didn't have the same definition, LOL
And yes, your take on the VA is VERY on point! I really wanted the different VAs to embody different women's thoughts in such a situation, almost talking to Yumeko like voices in her head. And all of them did such a fantastic job - I couldn't have asked for a better cast.
I'M HAPPY YOU ENJOYED IT, I did worry that men couldn't enjoy this considering how "distinct" the perspective is 😭 I do want everyone to be able to play my games and find something from them, so I'm really happy whenever I hear that a guy played this one and enjoyed it in some way (and gosh, especially that you found it relatable 🥹 even though it's a game about the female perspective, in the end it's also a game about toxic relationships, so I'm so happy it resonated with you!)
GOSH YOU'RE TRULY TOO KIND 😭😭 This comment really made my day (more like my entire week)! Thank you again for playing and taking the time to leave your thoughts!
