hey! thank you for checking out the demo :) i understand you concern! we want to write a nuanced story, and while we are still leaving things up to interpretation, we are writing a story primarily about a relationship, with themes of grief. we don't plan to write a story that's about a husband abusing his wife.

That’s good to hear. The demo has a lot of themes that seem like domestic abuse. If that’s not intended, I’d suggest you be more cognizant that if you’re writing a story about a male game developer and his wife is prominently shown and they are fighting, it could seem like domestic abuse, even if there are happy moments shown.

I understand relationships have many aspects and as someone who writes games with horror/nuanced interpersonal stories, I know it’s a hard line to walk. But it would be a shame to have such a cool concept ruined by “the sadness in this story is domestic abuse” when you could tell so, so many relationship stories that don’t have that kind of violence and that can still be horror themed. 

Thank you for listening to my feedback!
