The game deals less with dating someone who has a mental illness, and more with someone who uses that mental illness to manipulate and be abusive. Either way, I definitely had to sit down and talk with my partner after this because I started over analyzing all the times I need reassurance, or ask him to go out with me on walks and stuff. I legitimately had to sit him down and ask if there are boundaries we need to put in place or discuss. I had to ask if I was making him spread himself too thin. He told me I was being silly and to stop playing video games that were going to make me cry lol. As someone who has been on both sides of the issues, I found this game hard to play. I've been with someone who had extreme mental illness, but I never got to the point where every action we took caused stress. After repairing from that relationship and my past, I'm personally dealing with RSD, anxiety and depression. It sucks and it is hard on my partner. I have to ask for comfort and reassurance a lot, and there are definitely times when we both need alone time to sort things out. The game doesn't give you the option for healthy alone time. You either devote yourself entirely to the person and raise your stress until you die, or you get to "ignore" them so that you can focus on yourself for a bit. I feel that the creator didn't intend this to portray a healthy relationship, but I also think a bit more thought could have gone into the progression so that you get a sense of the intent behind the game. It has the potential to be an amazingly deep and well put together game, if it gets a bit more polishing.

The heart beat kinda made my heart follow with it, and I started kinda having a mental breakdown, but I guess I understood at most, playing through it three times and seeing the differences. A heart full when it breaks it shatters into so many pieces it's hard to put back together, but a cold heart when it breaks it's easier to put back together. Relationships are stressful, and it's worse when you suffer from depression and anxiety, understanding that you need to be there for that person, while also understanding that the same person could easily leave you is very stressful, Have fun with the game just those with anxiety be careful.
It's a simple game although I do recommend playing it since it makes you get your own idea of what it means but I think it's not that right of a meaning for the ending and the game play as there are some parts that doesn't necessarily mean that those parts bring stress or that it'll always be pointless and will always end but there's the opposite too, not everything's the same!
I've experienced all of the endings so far. Though there isn't much gameplay it's about the story line. The one that hit me the most was "But over time feelings change" It's a great game, please keep up the good work! I reccomend everyone play this (Not reccomended for depressed people or people with anxiety)
Maybe next time.
Anyone saying this game gave them anxiety is a pu$$y.
Maybe I don't understand the game play, but I found it rather boring and didn't understand what the point of it was. [spoiler] I got 100 on both love and compassion but it still kept going so I just let stress hit 100 and end the game. [/spoiler] This game had my anxiety and stress going just from the heartbeat alone which I didn't enjoy definitely. Feel free for anyone to comment/reply to this and let me know what might help me to enjoy it better, I'd like to know what I might be missing out on.
Although no longer available due to concerns the creator has over the message it leaves, I felt that the core message here is solid. Relationships take BALANCE. If you overly devote yourself to your partner, you are very likely to become co-dependent and rely on their attention to feel good about yourself. Too much of the opposite, however, leaves you cold and alone. Well...for most people at least. I wish this game was still available. It is currently in my Library and I don't want to delete it at the risk of no longer being able to obtain it again. The message is solid...and important.
great game, people thinking the dev believes love is fake have no media literacy and no understanding of real life relationships. No point in writing this cuz nobody will read this anyway. My only problem with the game is that steam thinks this is a sex game and the store is filled with porn because I played this game.
Boring and meaningless in my opinion. You move a heart to floating text saying things like "love them" "text them" "ignore them" "cheat on them" etc. and that's basically the whole game. If you try to choose the "positive" options, the rate at which the heart beats increases until the heart breaks, while if you choose the "negative options" the heart starts to turn blue. I think there was supposed to be some type of deep text at the end as well judging from other people's screenshots but for me I literally just got a screen saying "the end".
