The First Game to Make Me Cry Full Tears In a Long While 10/10

I know that the developer(s?) are going through some things right now but I believe they need to know that this was the first game to make me shed actual tears for the first time in many many years. Check my profile for a collection of other games... Mainly My Bully is My Lover, a bit of Eternum, and a bit of Once In a Lifetime. Those games got close to making me cry but didn't make me go all the way.  MBML had a lot of emotional moments in it and got me close to crying quite a few times.  While the other two almost made me cry at most 3 times each.

But... for some reason this game had me at that point MANY more times throughout it than MBML ever did. I think its the whole time travel thing, how well put the drama is, and all of the past interactions with everyone that the MC has had. It adds an incredible layer of attachment to the characters so when something happens you fucking feel it. I ended up actually crying at the end of chapter 25, which is something the previously mention games have never managed to do to me and I don't know why. Chapter 25 alone had me on the verge of tears maybe 4 to 5 times.

I feel that the developers should know that what they've made has had such an emotional impact on me. Something that they've created, most likely as a hobby or for fun, has moved me in such a way that many many maaaaannnyyy things before have failed to do. As such I have to say that I sincerely hope that whatever they are going through has a happy ending and that they continue to develop this masterpiece so that maybe I may cry some more while playing it down the line.

As weird as it sounds, thank you, for making me cry. I thought I had lost that ability 4 to 6 years ago. In addition I wish everyone involved good luck, better health, and that their life simply just becomes better.

To quote a close friend irl, "I don't know how to deal with these emotions." It's rare for any media to elicit any sort of emotion out of me, but I can't help it here. I looked up games like this to get my rocks off, not to end up bawling stupid happy tears for three days straight, but goddammit all that's what ended up happening. Here's one more sappy eejit waiting with bated breath for the next chapters, more than glad to join y'all.
