What a beautifully concise way to present this story
the aesthetics really elevated this, i loved the use of color and the fonts, especially the “less readable” ones, really emphasizes the emotions they carry.
this was really touching, thank you
It is a bit cruel of a joke, that hindsight can only come after suffering, but this game and so many others show well that one has to keep going because things do get better, it won't always be like this. I loved the way you showed it with the split screen, fantastic little piece. It hurt to read, but I'm glad I did.
This was such a great way to contrast your experiences. At first I read it like it was happening at the same time, and was a bit confused and only understood right about the end how this “split screen” worked. I played it again just to see it again. And now it made so much more sense. These two relationships really are like day and night, and I’m really glad you found a way out into a healthy relationship.
Your game really conveyed the feeling of having no other options, and a toxic relationship being better than none at all. But with the contrast of your current partnership you dismantle that lie so effectively. We are worthy to be treated well and feel safe. But this knowledge can take so long to aquire. The harm of thinking little of oneself is probably mroe intenser in close relationships. But, it is relevant in so many cases—be it with friends, colleagues, or family.
ok i wasn't ready for this--thank you for being so open and honest, that was equal parts beautiful and horrifying. after it was done i sat on the title screen for a while and just said "fuck, man" lol.
the use of audio fit perfectly and your visuals? perfect again, its like this piece came out in exactly the form it was meant to be and nothing could be added or taken out. i'm glad you're in a good place now
these thought spirals and the pushing of your own boundaries and sticking around for longer than you should felt so real, as did the descriptions of psychedelia :3

this was a wonderfully haunting experience
