So cool! Thank you!

A BIG thank you to everyone who played and rated the game! I never could have imagined even cracking anywhere close to 100 let alone #2 so from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm glad the writing wasn't off putting or weird and I learned a lot reading all your comments! It wasn't perfect but this does give me a lot of confidence to keep going to maybe tell an even better story in the future!

If it wasn't obvious this game comes from a very personal chapter of my life where I lost my mother. I went through a lot of emotions that I have never gone through but one thing changed drastically and that was my experience with media involving loss. Every time now there was a story involving the loss I couldn't help but trace it back to my own experiences with it. One thing I always felt was missing however was the sense of emptiness or lack of pay off (if that makes any sense). Loss is always shown in a dramatic setting with music and grandeur but I feel like a lot of people go through loss experiencing something more ugly or more slow and quiet. I really wanted to capture the awkwardness, emptiness, and all these weird and uncomfortable feeling. I am really happy this story was able to reach those who have gone through what I have and even those who have yet to. Loss is not pretty and I hope anyone who is going through something terrible in their lives that you are not alone in feeling that way and that whatever feelings you may feel are valid.

A story that feels a bit too close to home... The ending just being a black screen, leaving you with your own reflection is a great touch. I spammed the "talk" button because, in those moments, we never get the chance to say everything we wanted to say...

Wow. The character feels a little bit like a jerk, trying to guilt their mother while she's nearing death. I guess that may be how people feel when they lose someone so close, I don't know. I felt bad for both of them :-(
