Such a hidden gem! I feel it needs to be on Steam to gain more traction, it really is a wonderful story with a great lesson and metaphor. Jealousy and resentment are things we all face but often don't want to talk about and this story does an excellent job at displaying how it can feel. I found myself unexpectedly relating to the main character a lot like the words were made for me. It's short (which is good if you have a low attention span like me haha) and is only story-oriented but is a very nice read nonetheless. Great story, would highly recommend!
I've sat here for a solid hour or so trying to figure out anything useful that I could add or anything coherent I could say about this story, but I still can't think of anything, which is impressive since I normally don't shut up. All I will say is that stories like these are very important. Yes, it's beautiful, it's well-told, but it really rips some emotions out of you. Stories that can really make you feel something, whether you want to or not, in some cases, are the absolute most perfect form of storytelling that you can ever have. It's like magic in a lot of ways. Someone's thoughts and feelings turn into words and then somehow manage to not lose any meaning being transferred to someone else. It's what I would love to be able to convey someday. Believe me, I felt a lot with this. So much that I'm still feeling it like two hours later, it hit me good. Right in my heart, very unexpectedly, and that's something that I only think a story like this could ever accomplish. I don't know if any of my meaning got through in that, but I'll say three more things that hopefully make a bit more sense. Thank you for existing. Thank you for being you. And thank you for making this.
First off, thank you so very much for playing my game! Secondly, thank you even more for leaving such a heart-felt review. Your words do make sense, don't worry! I have so much I want to say about this game, so much commentary but I think that overall it's done a good job of speaking for itself after reading your thoughts on it. And I think, mostly, I'm glad that its magic was understood.
