Hey Adrionic! Just finished watching your let's play and I have to say that I'm really touched by your kind words... I just made this game on the side of my university work in my bedroom so it means the world to me that you could connect with it on this level!
re: the ending- yes! I did kind of intend for it to be uplifting, to me it is a happy moment and I'm glad that came across for you :) but other people have different interpretations and that's totally cool too! Subbed :)
