covers all the genres i need! Loved it honestly and so well done - to get the timing and humor just right is not an easy balance
Surprisingly fulfilling. I do really like the mention of the fears of being a game dev! Maybe that's just because I'm a philosophical person though. Very nice!
Game of the year, came for the next best thing, left with an existential crisis, too bad no romance and heartbreak tho
I had the same issue as the user before, I didn't know what to do on that screen that just said "I'm glad. You'll see just."
Totally my bad! I realized that I forgot to connect a handful of passages to the rest of the story, and that was one of them! It should be fixed now :) Thank you for letting me know!
Really interesting concept! Not sure if it was part of the game or not but there was one game screen where it wouldn’t update or give me a way to the next one even after waiting like a minute and clicking all over.
Thank you! And that's totally my bad - I realized that I forgot to connect a handful of passages to the rest of the story, so that was probably one of them! It should be fixed now, though :) Thank you for letting me know!
