If I had one word to describe this game, it would be... "compassionate".
Holy shit. This. This is the kind of emotional resonance I look for in games. Just, like, the use of mechanics as framing device or narrative to evoke something. I almost got a contact high from this. Much like the "fish factory" sequence from What Remains Of Edith Finch, I just sorta got lost in the monotony of the pong game and just got lost in your story. Something so honest and raw and... vulnerable about it. I started shaking and crying partway through, it brought back a lot of painful memories of some of my own heartbreaks. And I dunno. I think I needed this. I needed to play your game to sort of look at my own life for a bit. Good on you, man. I loved this game. Thank you so much for making it. Yeah. That's it, really. :)
