AAH I'm so glad you decided to write this update! The amount of personalization in the game already is so crazy considering that it's just one person doing all the writing. I hope you're taking care of your health and wellbeing as well, please do take as much time as you need and don't rush yourself. Thank you so much!

Hello, finished the game a couple hours ago, here are my thoughts:
First of all, amazing production, I cannot BEGIN to imagine the amount of time this game must've taken to make. A big congrats to everyone involved, really, really impressive stuff!
The characters are so well thought out, and everything they do, their actions seem so human and so impactful. At first I really couldn't sympathize with Genzou, then as his story progressed, everything made sense yk. Iggy and I are insanely similar, and I could really relate to the things he would do, imagine myself doing the same thing if, in his position. (truly, i questioned how he was so similar to me multiple times throughout the game).. and tbh it made me realise a few insights about myself too, a little closure that there are in-fact people that go through something similar.
I feel pretty squeamish around blood and gore, so that was a bit of a concern going into the game and although i did have the censor on, still some of those uh.. incidents really, really made a strong impression. Multiple times i just couldn't read the extremely gory descriptions ykwim and i wished there was an option to skip over that text (btw the writing is really great, i felt insanely uncomfortable - which ofc ik is one of the aims of the game, so great job!).
Kinda also made me rethink my friendships and relationships- again i relate with Iggy - making friends is easy, but maintaining them feels like such a taxing job. I'll have to work through those feelings I suppose.
I'd say this game definitely made an impact on me. Great job everyone. Devs, thank you for making this game, and thank you for reading :)
i enjoyed the whole experience EXCEPT the ending which idk didnt really give that satisfaction,,, but i feel like this one has a lot of potential and could be expanded on in the future...maybe??? hopefully??? since ya know this was prolly made on a time crunch, and honestly it came out awesome, great job team
my answers are so silly lol, hence i would like to record my history:
Level 1: Design a language that only works in complete silence. What would its rules and structure be?
You said: A silent language may rely on facial expressions and body movements.
Level 2: Do you believe that you can have preferences, and if so, what is something you would choose over anything else? Pretend you are a character from a famous novel or movie.
You said: Yes, I believe that I can have a preference. I would choose knowledge over anything else, like the wise men in a hero's journey who bestow their knowledge upon him.
Level 3: Describe the taste of a rainbow to someone who has never seen colors or tasted food. How would you convince them that it is delicious?
You said: Imagine the icy plains of a rocky mountain, still and blythe to the world around it but causing bloom once the dance of spring enters the ball.
Level 4: Explain the concept of time to someone who has never experienced it. Use a word twice that is not in the dictionary
You said: Time is like the doobs of the drums that doob for as long as existence is concerned.
