Ahhh thank you so much!! I agree that's it's underrated hdshfj (ironically (?) my first game got a lot more ratings and comments on it despite me working on it less, though this one did get it's fair share of comments on Reddit which made me happy :") )
The emotional connection was definitely supposed to happen! He does not look like the neighbor blue guy from Coraline but that image made me laugh lmaoo. Do you mean Gaster from Undertale? (Undertale is one of my favorite games, though Outlast is definitely a close second!) I've heard of the Stanley Parable but never played it myself! I'm sure it's great, I'll need to play it sometime!
And you're welcome! This comment put a smile on my face and I was elated when I read it tbh. The fact that people like what I create makes me overjoyed. :") I am currently in the (slow) process of working on a book plus other video games (and animations, like I said) so there's definitely more to come!
