Something for Someone Else

I don't really know whether to say any of this in a review, but I've decided to do so because I've never really felt so "personally" addressed before in a game. In a way that I was treated as what I was: a stranger that is listening in to someone else's story. Playing a game not meant for me, softly intruding in that space created for someone else, yet not unwelcome. That is why I will try to "respond" with the same courtesy, even if I might have no place to do so as an internet stranger. I just think it's something that I simply wish to convey, even a little. I hope that you, the developer (who might never read this, and that's okay), are in a better space now, and understand that this game you have made is not something you should feel ashamed of. It is an honest expression of your feelings back when you made this, and it is art in its own right. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share this with the world. While your - I guess the word for it nowadays would be a situationship - with that guy did not work out, I sincerely hope that you have found peace with those feelings. Potentially love in other places; love that has made your days happier, and your future outlook brighter. The game itself is one whose design is beautiful. It is hard gameplay-wise (because I am not that good with platformers unfortunately), and yet it is imbued with so many feelings. So much consideration went into every detail of this game, and it shows. The message at the end was possibly the best part of the entire experience. I'm just so impressed with the way you have managed to express it all through this medium. It ran so smoothly on my old laptop too. It's a genuinely lovely piece of art, no matter how you approach it, or look at it. So please continue making games (which I am sure you have). Your audience will be watching you with breathless anticipation, waiting for your next piece. Once again, thank you. I wish you only the best, from the bottom of my heart.
