It's been two years since this game was released and honestly I still think about it constantly. For those that don't know, I was the other developer.

Over that weekend we both seperated because I was unnecessarily frustrated. We both ended up making games. Mine was substantually worse, all things considered.

I'd go as far as say this game effected my life greatly. No other game really hits as hard as a game, no matter how short or hard, that directly calls you out and preys on your guilt. It invokes a feeling like no other. No game comes even close to compare. I left this game crying, as a man fairly apathetic. 

I think in the end what makes this game so brilliant is that it only works for one person. Only invokes in one person, and is a mystery to anyone else. This game will be on itch.io for many years to come, and few will play it. Fewer can feel it. So much so that I'm currently in university debating on whether to do a dissertation on experiences like this; where few if any players will discover the content available. 

If you're reading this Robyn; I hope you are doing well. I know we made up in the end, but even if we never meet or speak again, I'm sure you can figure things out. Sorry I made you out wrong so many times and blamed it on incompetance. Whatever you do I have faith you can accomplish it, or at least do so to a level you can be satisfied with.

To anyone else reading this: Not to gatekeep on games, but if you find a game that invokes more feeling than one that rightly blames you for your guilty concious and helps you understand your issues and turn your life around, I'd love to hear it. I don't believe such a game can exist for me again.

Too bad you didn't get along with the other developer. Kudos on submitting a game in the end!

The atmosphere is really nice and the voice over is good. The gameplay could use some work. Keep it up! :)

Keep up the work! It sucks that stuff like this can happen after looking forward to things for so long of-course, but is the message of your game, you gotta continue strong. I'm sure you'll get to make some amazing things for future game-jams.
