The image at the bottom of your game brings forth many childhood memories of playing games gone awry. As a child I experienced many spoil sports, like my brother and my cousin who would flip over game boards or abandon me at the table as an opportunity for victory slipped from their grasps. Their faces would get red and their speech would become slurred. Your game is however, is not like those games at all. I am here, playing with strangers in the void of the internet, and no one can ruin this game by flipping it over or walking away. However, as the first person playing, I feel alone. I almost wonder if anyone will see this, and I cannot yet imagine others' replies. For that reason I give it a 9/10.

What an evocative review! You're one of the people I have become the closest to this past half-a-year, and yet I feel like I have learned even more about you through reading this.
I appreciate the effect that my chosen image had on you! Picking it took me a while as I was afraid it would give the wrong impression given this isn't a "traditional" gaming experience by any means (and not a board game). It was also born out of necessity since I'm currently in Morocco and I did not have access to my drawing tablet, so I'm glad it worked out. I was inspired by Blake Andrews' use of stock images in posts such as this one. Also Irasutoya is a wonderful free-to-use library of images and I highly recommend using it.

Good point this also makes me wish for more on the loneliness (especially given that that experience was singular to Isabelle as all future players will see a pre-populated page!) however I'm not sure how constructive this criticism is given that you're not offering much in terms of practical improvements.
