Heya Randall! I read some of your writing samples and I think you have a real knack for immersive writing. As soon as I started reading Just Like Me I was HOOKED. 

Not sure if you found a team or artist already, but I'm looking for folks to work with as well!  I'm a 2D/Vector & Digital artist. I've participated in a few jams from 2017-2019 doing everything from backgrounds to assets and character art. You can see some of the jams I participated in here:  https://itch.io/c/3228551/games-i-helped-on 

You can find me on the DevTalk Discord under the same username!

1. Download the game file you want and open it
2. You'll get a message Error that says "[game] cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from Malware. You're only options will be "Move to Trash" and "Cancel" --- KEEP THIS WINDOW UP, for now.
3. Navigate to your System Settings App
4. Navigate to "Privacy & Security" - it should be 13th in the system settings app list but you can also search for it.
5. Scroll down to the section that says "security" - There's a box that says "Allow applications downloaded from App Store or App Store and identified developers." Make sure that the button that says "App Store and identified developers "is selected.
6. Remember the window from Step 2? While you have your Settings and Privacy system settings window open hit cancel (while you're looking at the security section)
7. Underneath that box in Step 5 there's another message that will pop up and say "[Game] was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer" with a button that says Open anyway*---* Select open anyway
8. If you have a password for your mac it might prompt you to enter your password/touch ID.
9. Another message will pop up -- "MacOS cannot verify the developer of [Game]. Are you sure you want to open it? By opening this app you will be overriding system security which can expose your computer and personal information to malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy." --- You'll get three options this time -- Open, Move to Trash or Cancel. Go ahead and select Open.
10. Voila! You should be able to get your game to start up!

This is a really cool game! I wish it were longer it kind of gives me the same eerie vibe as some of the Rusty Lake Games. The art was really cool I loved the textures and the gameplay was very straightforward and easy to understand. The only issue is while playing in browser the 2nd  lighthouse screen wasn't clickable on both my mac/pc. I had to download the game on my windows computer to be able to complete the story! Overall really fun game, you all did a great job! :D

Great game you guys, I wish it was longer!

I loved the way the room was set up and the way it scrolled! I maybe just spent a good five minutes just playing with the arrow keys.
