This is geniunely one of the best games I've played regarding abuse, gaslighting and other forms of manipulation. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who wants to play as I highly recommend it, but I will touch on my personal feelings. I've went through something similiar to this and the way it was put together and structured was a very realistic approach and very well researched, it made me feel a lot of strong emotions, bittersweet ones. It made me cry, it made me smile, etc etc.
I want to personally thank everyone who worked on this game, from the writers, coders, artists and devs for making such a beautiful masterpiece thats both horrifically accurate and horrifically nostalgic to those who have gone through similiar experiences. Putting stuff out like this helps people learn and understand abuse, and it could help them realize they're in abusive situations themselves without knowing.
I always see abuse portrayed as hitting, verbally berating, etc, and while those hold true and are very real, it's nice to have a game that accurately portrays gaslighting and more subtle abuse in a realistic way that doesn't demonize the victims of these situations, as they are hard to get out of, and even harder to understand. So thats why I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart, I feel heard and like I finally have a game that represents some of what I went through. I've honestly thought about this game for hours and will continue to think about it even after that.
I will keep singing my praises about what a gem this game is, from the graphics, the music and the story. You and your team are truly amazing. Have a good night/day/afternoon, thank you so much for your hard work.
