Thank you for playing Lament and writing such a thoughtful post about it!
Nothing brings me more joy than knowing that somebody has been impacted by one of my games in such a way.
I'm glad that people like the protagonist so much, definitely a fun character to write.
They look a lot like the typical anti-hero, but I wanted to emphasize that they're absolutely still human.
A character like this should have a little moe to them instead of just being cool all the time.
Funny thing, the plot of Lament was based off of a small passage in a novel.
It's been a few years since I've read it, but it's been haunting me for a long time.
If this game has given you even a third of the feelings that I got from that small passage, then I'm glad.
