The Death of Me is a horror game for Gameboy, inspired by my life with chronic illness. (Spooky!)

Very immersive and engaging. Really impressive!
Man.
Very sad and scary. So good job!
Okay WOW. That was... I kind of don't even know what to say. The story is incredibly well executed. I like how even with its dark tones, you didn't hesitate to insert a bit of humor into the game - it created a beautiful contrast and really served to strengthen the impact of the story. Normally, I would end such a comment with something along the lines of "good job", but I really can't find the words to explain how much I love this game.
Solid breakfast choices. But seriously, this is heartbreaking and amazing. The 'other' being what you could have been due to your choices hit me hard. Amazing work.
This is art. I had a one tear while playing last night, but a full on cry thinking about it again this morning. I am blown away by how well this was executed. I thought the spooky person in the mirror at the start might be tacked on to connect to the spooky thing, but I was so wrong. This game was legit spooky and the payoff for the person in the mirror was powerful. Horror rarely has a satisfying conclusion like this, this was masterfully done.
Also, the art and game design were incredible. Few Gameboy games achieve this level of depth and immersion within the extreme limitations of the medium. 11/10, would wash my face again.
Fantastic! Great work!
