i think i got her to sneeze but the dialogue made it seem like maybe there was a Level 2 Sneeze if i got more cells (20?), but i couldn't manage more than i think 18. or maybe that was the payoff and i tried to route this for no reason?? i see from other comments that there's no ending so maybe that was it then? nice, i won
at first i thought everything reset when i ran out of life, but then i reread the instructions and it clicked and i actually really like that it was only a temporary setback with no other punishment. feels really forgiving but also leaves a lot of room open for doing some speedrun bs to get every single cell in one pass without taking more than two hits (i did not do this though)
i take it the girl is literally dating us, but we presumably divide asexually (and in fact are doing that constantly throughout the game), so is she dating all of us, or do we decide which of us is the original, or, look i really need some lore here and i don't know why
at first i thought this might be a little too on the nose during a pandemic, but the protagonist is clearly a bacterium and not a virus, so that's fine probably. and they're really cute anyway
