just played chapter 1 and this game is so, so good. i absolutely adore the original dialogue interspersed with lines from the book, the exploration of christian religious guilt, and how easily it can manifest itself even in childhood. the fear and shame sinclair feels was always so visceral and palpable in the book, and you've captured it perfectly here. the static noise, the off key soundtrack, the unsettling hide and seek game at the end of chapter one, where the house grows to be a distorted version of itself, and where sinclair first meets his own corrupted reflection.

as you can probably tell, i've been a long time fan of the book as well, so seeing this game on the discover page was like finding a literal gem lol. if you are at all open to it, i would love to help with some aspect of the game (art, script editing, etc.), because i know how hard it can be to make a game on your own, and i did notice some very minor typos as i was playing. let me know what you think, and i'm excited to see what you come up with next! :)

Thank you for noticing all the care in it!! I'm really happy that fans of the book are finding this haha 

For the typos, thank you, i'll fix it. If you'd like in the future, a hand in editing/proofreading would really help me, since english is not my first language. Thank you anyway for your offer!

hello and thank you so much for your reply ! i would be happy to give a hand in editing & proofreading. i'm actually currently studying english in university, so i could definitely help with that, especially since i will be on break soon. let me know if/when you need any help, and you can email me at mcrunchychris@gmail.com. 

i was also wondering how you're planning to handle (at least in my opinion) the very queer coded relationship between sinclair and demian, but feel free to not answer if you're uncomfortable. thanks again for the response, have a great day :)

yeag thank you!

for the question,  sinclair  develops meaninful relatioships  mainly with  with other mens (demian, pistorius, knauer, even kromer in a sense), which makes me wonder if his struggles with sexuality are because he desires (only?) women. the other thing is that emil cannot shut up about how much he yearns for demian . on demian's side oh boy too long too complicated but. the queer is  definetely there. and there will be on the game

have a nice day you too!
