I've played this twice now, and I've been trying to figure out how to write out my praise in a nice comment, but it's hard to articulate just how impactful this is. It's breathtaking, in a very real sense; playing it made me feel at times like my breath had been yanked out of my lungs. The environment is perfect, the presentation of some of these pieces (thinking especially about the photo with the vanishing figures) and the act of climbing out at the end... it's so, so effective.
I've been processing an event from last month that makes some of the pieces in here hit extra hard. A lot of my time has just been spent trying to parse my own emotions. Seeing some of those emotions reflected here feels like relief. Thank you for writing them.
oh well this is just the loveliest comment i've ever gotten T-T thank you so much for playing! multiple times!!! it means so, so much to me that it helped you, however much - sometimes all we need is to know that we're not the only person feeling the way we are. it's only human to feel pain, despair, loss - and it is only human to struggle ever onwards, to keep hoping and growing. i hope your journey is kind to you <3
