Confessions

Dark but intriguing concept. I like it! Could have some more interaction.

Kind Words’ twisted brother. I'd add something to comment/encourage people after reading a confession.

This confirmed for me that other people have similar regrets, fears, traumas and problems. There is no way to respond to anyone's confession or revisit your own confessions. The interface seems unnecessarily bleak and gloomy. For your confession, your default identity is "Someone from Somewhere." You can change "Someone" to whatever you want. For "Somewhere," you are limited to finding a country from a menu. About 90% of people leave the default "Someone from Somewhere." It is a way to safely express your private thoughts and secrets and read those of others. I am finding it enlightening and therapeutic.

Interessante... ficou alguns meses sem funcionar mas voltou recentemente...

Just by reading and without talking brings a comfort and hope that soothes the soul. I like this game!

I've got my fair share of vices, and such a medium to send my thoughts off to the ether is greatly appreciated. I've tried writing letters and usually they work, but some topics are bit difficult to escape when the file sits on my drives. Deleting it is kind of useless for me, because then I want to rewrite it. I've expressed thoughts and frustration on public posts for the sake being able to get rid of them, but I've felt selfish in doing so. Being able to archive my transgressions and horrid thoughts in a medium where I know the file still exists but I never need to see it again is oddly cathartic. This platform feels like casting a message in a bottle into the ocean, eventually, someone may see it or nobody will see it. Regardless of whether someone ever reads it or not, it's the personally symbolic nature of letting go that elevates the relief. I've seen people mention how they wish for a way to rate or comment on confessions. Why? Confessions, at their core, are used to get things off of your chest. Having people tell you that 'it'll be okay' or 'I hope you're doing better', although kind, can be a cruel reminder of something they just want to leave behind. There's more nuance to such things than some might think, especially when it comes to some of the more demented or depressing confessions. Apologies if this was incoherent, I'm tired.

deep but fun
