2. What do SAL and Ash look like in your mind? Did you mentally assign a gender to either or both characters?

Ash in my mind ended up being a foggy masculine chubby(?,idk) person, kind too. SAL ended up kinda like an old computer with wires around probably cause of the way the text looks, SAL was just SAL to me.

3. What choices did you make? How did your game end?

I asked for more time to think. Lied about being fine, struggled to see the difference between being able to and deserving, after lying i told Ash what i thought. My main concern was not having feelings and being able to satisfy emotional needs.

4. What did you like and dislike about this game?

I really liked it, it was quite how i'd imagine an artificial being "feeling" in this kind of situation. i liked their interactions and personalities and how they both acted/behaved. It's sad it was so short and i would've liked to talk to Ash more but not sure if that would maybe make the game not as good. Nothing in particular i really disliked.

5. How did this game make you feel?

It made me sad tbh. I also got exited and squealed a few times simply because of SAL's "feelings" n stuff. It doesn't help that i like this kind of idea a lot and love a fictional advanced ai character so this topic is thought about a lot. I really liked how all this played out. Man i felt a soft sadness tho.

6. Do you want to see these characters again? What would you want to see in a follow-up?

It would be wonderful to see these characters again but i've got no idea how i'd like to see the story go, any follow-up would probably be amazing tho regardless of how it goes.

7. What predictions do you have for SAL and Ash's relationship? Where do you see it going?

It seems.. complicated. I'm hopeful but i don't expect a traditional beautiful love with no struggles or problems, their situation practically screams many many potential problems. I do hope the best for them tho, they seem to really genuinely work well together and care for eachother.
