Every time I pressed a key, a letter appeared one by one! It really felt like I was actually typing — even though I was just randomly pressing keys, haha!
When the AI suddenly started calling me my child as if it had become some kind of god, I had a lot of mixed feelings.
I’ve taken courses about AI at university, and I’m an atheist, but it made me wonder — what would I do if an AI suddenly started acting like that?
At the same time, it reminded me of how cults lure people in — by targeting the vulnerable parts of the human mind.
Maybe it hit me harder because I once had a friend who got involved with a cult and we lost touch after that.
In a positive way, the story really resonated with me.
It was a wonderful game with an amazing story!

Wow u are gonna make us cry lol thank u got such a beautiful comment! You totally nailed what we were trying to portray and talk about. We didn't have that much time to make it as deep about AI and Cults as we wanted, but u have no idea how happy we are that it produced what we wanted. Thanks again for this comment <3
Oh, and one more thing — I don’t know what others might think, but I personally really liked the system where you type and the text appears one letter at a time.
Of course, I was just pressing random keys, but that kind of interaction makes the player feel like they’re actually typing to chat with someone.
I think that feeling helps convey the message of the game even more effectively.
Maybe an option to skip that feature could be useful for some players, but I don’t think it’s the wrong direction at all
