Well... now I'm disturbed and uncomfortable. Well done.

this game does so much with such a short wordcount. beautiful prose and dialogue, especially with snowy's dialogue. bringing out the killer em dash...

a depressing glimpse into a very real future. especially when the story gets into dani's headspace. it's scary how she interprets perfectly mundane statements in the workplace in the most bad-faith way possible, further isolating herself from genuine human connection in favor of escapism through the same kids cartoons, their gacha spinoffs — and of course, snowy. 

and the ending was tough to go through too. watching dani crash out at snowy and break her — but seeing snowy do nothing but continue to affirm her... ah...

there's more i could say but i feel like a lot of the commenters here have covered those bases more thoroughly than i could. nonetheless, well done. this is a tightly-made little vn.

hello! I'm unsure if this is a user-specific problem on my end, but with linux I can't seem to run the shellscript file natively? Nothing pops up, I hope this is appropiate to post for in case this is a bug! All other renpy game shellscripts I have run fine

hey, thanks for letting me know! unfortunately i don't know the first thing about linux, so i'm not sure how to test this bug. i'm going to upload a linux-only build later today, rather than the linux/win build that's currently up. please let me know if that works!

hiya, the macOS version doesn't work either. i'm pretty sure the issue came from unzipping the builds and then rezipping them with the readme. if you just include the readme as, say, a file in the game's base directory instead, and then build the distributions again, it should probably fix it
