CARROT IM ASKJHDHSK THANK U FOR YOUR THOUGHTS!!
Tbh when we outlined the story we thought people would go straight for the mindread option out of curiosity but surprisingly a lot of people found it disrespectful and usually go through the game "normally!" We culled so much of the story to fit within the jam parameters so I'm really glad the little hints came through when you replayed the story ;_;
I'm so happy you took the time to describe your experience, that really was the whole gamut of emotions we were hoping for :'^) Walt and I were actually thinking of making a prequel game of sorts to explore Julius's mindreading and relationship with Mark so those questions might actually be answered in the future?? Omg I'd love to see your take on mindreading, I have the same thoughts about the concept! And hopefully in the future we'll be able to explore it beyond Julius getting caught up in his insecurities LOL
Anyways, we're really glad you enjoyed the story!! All of this is such high praise and I'm very thankful for your support!!
