Hey - I just finished this game, thank you for making it.
People close to me have had long periods of sickness and have delt with thinking doctors would be there to help them to realising doctors have their own stuff going on and actually you need to really push to be heard. So it was good to be able to experience some small slice of that... "Good" may be the wrong word, but you know what I mean.
I was a confused by the jungle section. Maybe I need to play it again, and read the diaries slower, to pick more up. I have the feeling it's partly about medicine feeling like random guessing, like you might as well be performing an ancient ritual? The life's water thing about blood tests, that you need to keep giving and giving and hope something meaningful comes back? I suppose it was also part of the falling back through time, progress in life stopping, slipping back and back and back.
For the final sequence. I really like it. First time I was really confused. But I think it really shows why it's important to try not view ourselves like that, even when that feels easier than viewing ourselves kindly, even when it's really hard. And it's hard to write about!!
Like I say I've just finished it but I'm sure I'll chew on it for a while. Thanks a lot for making it, it's just what I needed today.
