Thank you for playing!

mabbees is the main writer on this; I’m designing the characters, so I wanted to give them a queer dark magical girl vibe. <3

Thank you for your comment! That encourages me to continue making art of them and see where this goes. 

We (as in, mabbees and I) are tied up with work atm but are looking forward to find time to make more progress on a full version.

Congratulations, KC!! 🎉🎉

Thank you!

That link truly is vile... when I read it I was like, "are you shitting me" lol

Both mabbees and I love the Matrix and the inherent (we think) queerness of it - so I'm glad to hear it hit that sweet spot. Thank you for playing <3

💚

Checking back in on this - were you able to pay? We relinked our accounts to our itch.io.

Thank you so much for your candor. Honestly, I'm happy to support in any way I can. I don't know what my schedule will look like, but I'd be interested in volunteering.

Thank you for the comment!! I'm looking forward to that release as well, it means I get to try my hand at more pixel art... >:3
mabbees is looking to get the tracks released on Bandcamp soon.

Thank you so much for your support! I’m sorry that’s happening. Let me check out our side to make sure everything is ok!

Thank you! <3

I've been looking forward to Angel's route!

I was talking to another trans friend of mine years back. She was in the middle of transitioning and something she said stuck with me for years. I asked her what she wanted to be, and she said, "firstly, alive. That was my first goal when I started transitioning, but now I can see a future where I grow old. I'd like to be an old lady that gives all the young queer kids weird butterscotch candies from my purse."

An old lady giving out butterscotch candies. I nearly cried in joy; it was such a hopeful and wonderful depiction of life thriving, not just surviving.

Personally, when I saw Angel I saw a piece of what I wanted to be; someone who is calm, emotionally stable and living with xir unique identity like it's no big deal (also chest tattoos). However, to be like that in the world we live in requires an intensity and force of will most people would miss.

I'm glad you're writing Angel, from a fellow writer to another, AND I'm looking forward to playing through again to choose xem.

This truly captured the experience of pitching a tent. Brilliant.

This was such a sweet and heartfelt game. As many of the other commenters said, it was really nice to have trans masc/NB representation that was sweet and affirming.

Love it. Looking forward to more. Y'all did great work!

Amazingly, you can use eight sheets of newspaper stacked on top of each other to shape glass. I didn’t know this before I started glassblowing, but they recommend the New York Times/Wall Street Journal/any paper that does not have color ink, because color ink can make noxious fumes when burned.

Thank you for playing!!

💚 Yes!

I’m so happy to read your comment. What you’re describing is exactly the feeling I was trying to replicate. 

Thank you! Congratulations on sticking with it! <3

You matched the vibe perfectly.

What a sweet game. I loved the music/writing combo!

Congratulations! 🙌

Thank you so much! What did you make? :)

Thank you! <3

Thank you for playing!!

I so relate to this. I took failure way too personally when failure is a natural part of learning and growing.

Thank you!

Thank you for coming! C:

Thank you! 

It's been brought to our attention that some Windows 11 players are having issues with the game crashing on open. 

If you are one of those players; we sincerely apologise. We're trying to replicate the bug on our machines as we speak. We'll reply to this thread when we have updates to share.

Thank YOU for playing! <3
