Hi Aaryn,
initially found a video of your game on a more sexually focused platform. I watched it out of curiousity and it tollay blew me up! I had almost that same kind of story with my first boyfriend at High School when I was just 16.. he and me met almost the same way. In the same innocent, but almost "straight" manner starting in 1990. All the dialogues not only could have happened but actually did happen nearly the same way. Even in the face expressions of the guys in the game, I found my own former reality reflected. Really astonishing work! I had the fortune to have continued this journey of basically two more or less straight young men falling for each other till I was 26, so almost 10 years. Then he decided that he wanted to have some sexual experience with women too and he left. It almost broke me. Even as a bi-sexual and able to understand his wish, I loved him for ten years from day 1-to the last with the same intensity.. and after he left, I knew, that this was most probably not going to happen another time in my life. I missed him much the following years. We shared time in a very special moment of yourself starting to get an adult and having many experiences together for the first time in life. Today I'm even more appreciating this precious gift, life has given to me. Your sensitive and decent story telling and the buildup of the real characters was a masterpiece. I really feel connected to Braden and Zack. Almost as being together with them and experiencing and exploring things day by day. You have put everything in the right place. It was like a timemaschine for me and at the same time it was some kind of comfort for own experiences seeing so completely shared by another man experiencing the same. Thank you for that! I would wish and could imagine, that you are not already completely through your own inner story and memories, so you might consider a second part of this (?) Maybe again with Zack and Braden or maybe in a different way based on your experiences and inner sights you have gained through all this. Thank you bro for giving this touching emotional journey to us!
