porcodio....

this is horrible and i must return to finish it. my shoulder hurts and its been a day. i'm tempted to launch it again but those first thirty minutes were so rough. as it keeps going it gets more draining, eventually i found myself crying as i typed. there is a fine line between masochism and self-harm. i will come back to this. i will read the rest of the story. i need to know how it ends. ok i came back to it and i gotta say it was great. heavily recommend tapping if you need to and coming back - its a lot easier the second time around and the prose is worth re-reading. i had a blast with this one, love the aesthetics, the constant oh ♥♥♥♥ i forgot about the wheel. had some close calls near the end & honestly thought there would be more when i got to it. It's a marathon, go in expecting it to take a while, don't rush, enjoy the scenery. if you try to power through it you'll break yourself.

The story is good. Where I completely disagree is that having to go through all of it without the ability to save or even pause for as long as you want adds anything to it. I get what it's "trying to say" by that but having checkpoints still wouldn't have taken away from it. Allowing the player to pause and those checkpoints would only improve the game in my opinion. Make the chore optional.

The sheer audacity of these developers.

holy ♥♥♥♥

Died right at the end (I think? This game never ends) because of the looping music making me miss the audio cue, so there's 8 hours of my life down the drain. It did help me get a bit better with my typing though, so there's that I suppose. I was so invested at the start, neat concept with an intriguing story, but 4 hours went by and I was 5 miles past not caring anymore. Please listen to the warning at the beginning, don't be a hero. It isn't worth it.

Unironically a good game. There was a good amount of effort put into it despite what you'd expect.

oh my god write the book

Lowkey ♥♥♥♥ you for this one twin

Stories good but not worth the effort and game is kinda like self torture, i did finish though
