this game hurt me in a special way... i really enjoyed it. fictional situations like this always seem nightmarish yet tantalizing to me and this story captures that very well. great job
It's an interesting and thought-provoking change of pace, seeing a story where the protagonist does not, in fact, face reality and overcome their demons, but instead delves so deep into escapism that their dreams and fantasies, in a very real sense, end up replacing reality itself~
i love the limbo this all takes place in.. nothing is real to the point where it is real again. the soundtrack was well picked to elevate the atmosphere. thanks for writing this
there's something relatable in all your games. maybe I just think in similar ways, but I believe you're good at capturing the "private" persona (u know like, vs. the public persona). when we perform that which isn't performative—it's this extremely stripped down, almost ironic performance. the dance when no one is watching.
of course, that's intensified here. as a fan of the caligula effect's forbidden musician route and d&g's anti-oedipus... this one hit really close to home.

really thoughtful. a lot of behaviors i can relate to from my own introspective tendencies.

Man, I may have to read Anti-Oedipus sooner than later.
