Lovely game. Played it over yesterday and today. It's funny thinking about my childhood, playing with a Game Boy, where this game could look identical to a Game Boy game, but a game for a Nintendo system couldn't have 5% of this content. Knowing how autobiographical this is for you, I feel for you. The period Elly is confined to a hospital bed is difficult, as it should be.
I hope you'll make another game, whether it's with this topic or another. I love narrative adventure games, and it's great the Playdate can support this kind of storytelling. It reminds a lot of Fran Bow.
