I've been a fan of the author's illustration work for a very long time so I was surprised and thrilled to know that he was making this game (and even translated for English audiences). I only finished playing the first chapter of this game a couple of months ago but I have been thinking about it a lot ever since. I can tell a lot of love and hard work was put into making this incredibly thoughtful and heartbreaking story. Despite being roughly 2 hours of game play, I felt like it was incredibly dense in its writing and I took my time playing the game and taking in the deep art of the game.
There were a lot of moments where I stopped to just take it all in and sink in the melancholic poetry of the game. Especially during Wade's final projection of his mother's portrait I felt like I was holding my breath the entire time. I've replayed this game 3 times already and I feel goosebumps during the final portion of the game every time. Incredibly powerful work here and I'm very excited to see how this game progresses in the future.

back when this game was hot shit, I roamed the forums of Gamefaqs to see if I could get an axe without having a way to get one, I noticed that the prices on the forums as compared to the game were enormously high. I made a post about it and then proceeded to get a lecture on how Supply and Demand worked. I was 13

Ended up abandoning this game because I just couldn't take the constant homophobia aimed at Kanji and pervasive misogyny. No shade at anyone who loves this game, but I do wish those who loved it and reviewed it with such enthusiasm talked about these problems, cause as a queer gamer whose experienced so much homophobia personally...it was too painful to keep playing.
