I really love this game; I think it's elegantly written. What a lovely stylistic choice to split "something" and "anything" into two words each, despite the constraint it puts on your word count, so that you could be so careful and deliberate with your writing. The kind of game that reads like a poem.
Mechanically, I love it. I love this idea that there is no long-term relief for the grief in this specific situation. I think you nailed the blend of mechanic and metaphor. As someone who has dealt with grief and mental health challenges, that means a lot to me to see reflected so candidly.
In my mind, there is a bigger-picture zoom-out to the metaphor of this game, which is that this is not the way to heal a hole in your chest. But it also makes me think about how when you're in that moment and experiencing that pain, literally or metaphorically, it can be really challenging to do anything other than try to get respite.
Apologies for the ramble. Really love this game. Thanks for making it!
