Yeah, I kinda had to do a triple check when  I realized I was one of like... 8 people who have reviewed this novel (virtual novel?) It was a bit like finding a winning lottery ticket in a trashcan like- "Woah, am I really the only one who knows about this?" I tried to get some buddies of mine to give the game a try but none of them had a platform to play on, but maybe when I get back into my flow of work I can find someone to pass this experience onto.

I made an Itch.io account just to write this comment. It's weird giving this game such positive and uplifitng praise considering the bleak nature of the game, but "Set Yourself On Fire" was truly a compelling demo. The characters, the story, the beautiful visuals, it was amazing. This game truly does take me back to when I was an aimless teenager in the cosy Northern United States, waiting for something to sweep me away and give me purpose. I would stare into the dark clouds and meander by abandoned restaurants and count the days until I was dead. This game hits really, really close to home and puts me at ease. I always worry that I wasted my best years laying in the orange grasses, drunk, waiting for winter to blow over and take me with it. Yet, playing this demo, I feel comforted; This game made me feel normal. Anywhoos, I'd seriously consider giving this demo a download, and for the artist who crafted this: Thank you.
