Really loved this one. The writing was great and the story and characters were immediately engaging. I remember feeling so anxious as the main conflict kept brewing and escalating, a sure sign you managed to pull me in the fictional lives of these characters.
My only small gripe with this story is that the resolution did end up feeling a bit too lopsided. While both characters had fair points and perspectives and the solution was in the middle and compromise, it did ended up feeling like Benny took all of the blame while the MC was left with very little soulsearching to do. And while this is consistent with their characterization (the text even calls it out) and I'm pretty was it was done intentionally, it did end up making me feel just a bit unsatisfied with the resolution of these characters' arcs.
In particular, the biggest offender for me is the dining scene, since it's the only one to my memory that doesn't revolve around the MC's writing and inspiration issues. While this is nice to break the monotony by providing a new reason for conflict, it also creates a situation where the MC is pretty unambiguously in the wrong imho (the call didn't really seem to have any urgency to it, that would justified the MC being so inconsiderate towards his husband). (Also who's paying for such long transcontinental calls lol) xD
But again, nitpicks aside, this is definitely one of the highlights of the game jam for me!
