hey! want to say that i loved your review: i really appreciate people who take the time to comment on my work no matter their opinion on it, because it takes care, and it's always motivating to get better :)

onto your question: my intention with the king was for him to be someone whose opinion matters a lot to MC: a childhood friend, someone MC wants to love but can't because the king is an outspoken critic of MC's addiction, to the point of ditching. at least, that's what MC thinks, and can't blame the king for it either. By reaching out to him MC would be encouraging the king to put his money where his mouth is; if you're going to speak out against MC's struggles, then help them when they ask, if that makes sense.

of course, the monster is still MC's keeper at the end of the night. so they fail. but, in theory, one day they would be strong enough to craft a support system and escape the beast's keep.

again, thanks for your comment. greatly appreciated it and hope you enjoyed :)

I got all endings and wow. just beautiful. i loved the descriptions and orpheus' dialogue. turning around felt like condemnation. brilliant.

it's so bittersweet to love this poem. friendship breakups hurt even more than romantic ones sometimes and i think this just captures it wonderfully.

this is incredible! i love the mouse-hovering and the mystery here. loved it :)

This is just beautiful. i love the style and the use of myth. incredibly well done :)

this is. INSANE! i love this, so much. it's fascinating and intense and i just...... AJKALJFKLAJSFKLJF! chef's kiss. 

this is adorable! i love the format and how bright and fun it is. so sweet :) put me in a good mood for a while.

loved this! wasn't expecting this format to lend itself to the group-chat genre, but it really, REALLY works :)

this is gorgeous. i feel ill in the best way.

this is just gorgeous. you (and your tears, lol) have created something beautifully poetic and potently alive, even with such a small wordcount. love the color scheme. chef's kiss.

really cool! love the design style :D

thank you :)

i'm not sure if i have OCD, but every day when i drive home from work there are two instances in which i am convinced i see a person on the side of the road when i drive by. it's the same spot every day, and there's never been anyone there... but i think about it.

your game brilliantly captures a burst of adrenaline and anxiety, one so strong i can feel it in my throat. the mood is immediately enhanced because of your formatting as a journal. i love the drawings and pictures. thank you for sharing. :)

wow.

i'm in love with the writing and tone, as well as how you manipulate structure to further convey the main character's emotions. honestly, stunned. on the edge of my seat the entire time. this is incredible. i consider myself really lucky to play it :)
