I love your games so far, BitShift! For some context, I'm currently working on a personal project that requires multiple perspectives and topics. I want you to know that your games have genuinely creeped me out, and the concepts of mind control and hypnosis make my skin crawl with disgust. However, I also appreciate the fact that you've developed these games, showcasing your passion for their creation.

I read your reply to MrSahelanthropus, and I want to emphasize that your games are not slop. I firmly believe that. The concepts I mentioned earlier will definitely be implemented into my project, just as others have.

I love media that challenges regular societal norms and my own beliefs, as long as it doesn't go too far—and in my opinion, your games haven't. I hope you will continue to create more games after "Cruel Serenade." I also hope we can chat about your games and how they are influencing my project.

I apologize in advance for the mixed feelings I'm expressing, but I believe they are relevant. My intention is not to offend or discourage you; rather, I want to encourage you and show my appreciation for you, your games, and your passions.

Something about this game has me in a talkative mood I guess. That, or something you said piqued my curiosity.

It doesn't seem like you enjoy the kinks on offer, so I just wanted to know why you decided to download this game in the first place if you don't mind me asking. I get wanting to challenge yourself with uncomfortable media, but people don't generally tend to do that with the porn they consume.

I just like things that make me uncomfortable. They make me think about various things, and that helps me get a better understanding of the topics and how they contradict other things.

That's a simplified way of explaining it, but there's more to it. I've always had an interest in things that, quite frankly, not a lot of people are willing to experience or think about. Buying things that make me uncomfortable might sound unnecessary, but I see it as an investment in knowledge and wisdom.

Fair enough I suppose. Like I said, I get enjoying challenging media. I myself enjoy watching movies that make me squirm from time to time. What I don't get is seeking out porn specifically to make you uncomfortable. That would just kinda kill the experience for me, but to each their own and all.

I didn't say it was porn I sought out specifically. But, I gotcha, though. It is pretty weird.

I seek out the black and white in things, and all the shades of grey in between. It's decently thought-provoking.

Hey, no worries, no one has to like what I make, as long as you're polite (and you certainly have been). And, if I'm understanding right, you DID actually enjoy them in a way, just a somewhat roundabout way. But there's plenty of stuff I'm not into as well. I'm glad you were able to appreciate the game to some degree despite the difference in taste.
