Bueno, definitivamente AMÉ a Kalei. Por otro lado pues...Sí, Geist no es nada más ni nada menos que esa voz interna, esos pensamientos intrusivos, y toda la negatividad que nos consumé. Me encantó su personaje en el sentido de que pues... está bien desarrollado para la función que debía desempeñar. Y su final fue justo lo que esperaba. Nice game!
I was terrified by the fact i found myself agreeing and nodding along to geist like.. i think thats bad but internally i was like' well yeah hes right, people just tolerate me-'
oouuu... gosh first of all i absolutely loved kalei he's such a supportive and sweet presence in this game, there couldn't have been a better person to give our mc a little push 😭 geist is SUCH a clever analogy too! even though i had to begrudgingly push through some of his dialogue (like omg let me romance this sweet man in peace thank u very much ?? so much sass and for what) its sooo accurate and in touch with some of my experiences with negative self talk!! really hit the nail on the head with social panic, isolation, and end-of-the-world speeches. it says a lot that i can now play through something like this and roll my eyes HARD at his rhetoric while also feeling the moments and understanding how real those spirals are. really loved the shift of his intentions at the end of kalei's route, it almost makes me like him <3 (/silly). much much love creator thank you!!!
hi! i downloaded this game from itch.io first and then i think i came across a bug? anyways i read the comments to fix it but i only saw a single person that came across the same issue as me. the game just stops when our character says that they are excited for monday. i can still save and load or click other stuff but i am just stuck there. anyways then i tried to download it from steam because i thought that maybe i downloaded the wrong thing somehow but it still does the same :( i dont know why. i deleted all the save data aswell and tried again and again but i just cant play it further and I AM SO INTERESTED IN ROMANCING KALEI </3
ACK I'm really sorry 😭 Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions for you other than what you've already tried, I have no idea why that's happening 😭😭😭
I will note that I have plans to port the game to Android (and Web if possible) in the next few months! In doing so, I'll be porting the game to a new engine - it's very likely that the new version will work for you. I'll post an update here when I have the new build uploaded (though I completely understand if you don't want to wait around for that 😅) Again, I'm so sorry, and thank you so much for wanting to play the game 😭
Aww that sucks but its ok!! I'm looking forward to playing it in the future if i can that is lol. Still i can say that the characters and the game overall is very well done from the little i saw! I liked the little animations and voice acting. I'll check out your other games and i am looking forward to the new version of this game! Good luck on your new projects <3
i got the giest route and let me just say that hes literally the voice you hear inside of your head. like i never thought mc would have been THIS relatable, this is such a good game i love it!!
Due to how mad Geist made me, I don't have the heart to play his route. I was literally arguing with him through the screen the whole time.
Other than that, great game. As someone who suffers from severe general and social anxiety, it hit home. I loved the dialogue and Kalei was such a sweetheart. It made me reflect on how much I intentionally isolate myself socially due to overthinking and rumination. Ya know, just bad b things lol
but as a sidenote: I like to call Geist my personal demon. I played this game called After Party, and literally same thing. Suggest everyone to check it out if they haven't already.
😂 Honestly you're not the first person to tell me they couldn't bear to go through Geist's route, and I don't blame you... (I actually would be very curious to see how many people actually played through it if I could ever implement something like that...) (And I won't lie, I am glad that "Geist is not a very good love interest" seems to be a universal experience 🤣)
Thank you so much for playing!!! I'm really glad that it hit the right beats and was accurate to your experience. For me, social anxiety used to be like this neverending whirlpool of fear and guilt, and it was only after I started talking to myself "as another person" that I realized, "Hey... this isn't a good or rational thing to do, actually..."
YOUR PERSONAL DEMON 🤣 very accurate description... (And ohh I haven't heard of that one, but it looks very neat 🤔)
Wow.. What a wonderful game. I've only done my first playthrough but I'll definitely be replaying it! Though.. i should take a break before trying out Geist's path aha- It was so nice to play something i could actually relate to.. and the dialogue is so, so well written!! I'd gush about Kalei and Geist's writing all day if i could.
I'd like to think we all have a little Geist in our head and its comforting to know we aren't entirely alone in those feelings. Mc's dialogue where they finally snap at him was kinda eye opening in a way? I still struggle with taking the necessary steps of reaching out and doing the things i want to do because I'm too afraid. But they were right. If you never try and push through what makes you uncomfortable, you'll always be stuck in that listless loop of letting your fear control you. And i don't want that to be my life forever.
There's so much i want to say about this tbh but i don't know how to put it all into words. This is my first time playing one of your games and i can't wait to try the others. Thank you for this experience :'')
AHH thank you so much for playing, and for taking the time to comment! 🥰 I'm really glad you enjoyed it and that it resonated with you 🥹 I based a lot of the game on my experiences when I was younger, so it's really nice to hear that others have had similar experiences. (Understandable that you need to take a break before playing Geist's route 😂 Somehow it's a bit like walking into the lion's den...)
I think so too! Sometimes the Geist is a little quieter, and sometimes he says different things, but I think that everyone (or at least most people) struggles with that little voice of self doubt. And when you start listening to him, it's hard to break out of that loop of fear. But seeing his face clearly is the first step 💪 and sometimes that's all you need to start changing yourself! (I'm rooting for you 💪💪💪 I still struggle with fear too, and some days are better than others. But every step is another step forward 😊)
Thank you again for your kind words 🥹 All of my games are a little different, but I hope you enjoy them when you check them out!
AHH I'm honored that you're interested 😭 I do plan on releasing an Android version sometime soon that should have most of the features except for the 2D animations! (I'll also upload it on Web if it fits!) Unfortunately it will require recoding the entire game, so I've been prioritizing putting together the demos of a couple other projects before I work on MMM's mobile port. But rest assured that it's on my radar! I'll post an announcement when it's updated 😊
Thanks for your interest! 😊 Unfortunately I underwent a game engine change after making MindMindMind! MMM is made in Godot, while my new games are made in Ren'py. Unfortunately I didn't include achievement support in my Godot games, but I do plan for my future games to have Steam achievements 🫡 (and I'm glad to know that's a feature that players are interested in!)
geist does not let up omg 😭 he hurt my feelings so many times </333 i lovedd playing this, both routes were so beautiful i was so immersed in the storyline because i felt i could rlly put myself in mc's shoes 🥹 ty for this lovely vn
😂😂😂 HE REALLY DOES NOT someone needs to come and put some tape over his mouth for a SECOND! And YOU PLAYED BOTH ROUTES, I'm so touched 🥹 I'm glad that you found the MC relatable!! Thank you so much for playing 😊
I'm trying to play the game but its always get stuck in the Kalei text, its says i'm looking forward to monday and it doesnt progress. Is it my fault, like my pc not working with the game or something? I tried with steam and itchio :(
That's strange... I'm not sure why that would be happening 😭 The Steam and itch versions both use the same save file, so it's possible that the save got corrupted somehow? I would try going to the settings -> "Delete all save data," and then restart the game and see if that fixes it. Since you downloaded it twice I don't think that the game data itself should be corrupted...
I downloaded this game sometime last year, but thought about it again today because I wanted to replay it. I absolutely adored this game. Kalei stole my whole heart and I honestly use this game now to better explain to my friends what my anxiety sounds like. I now refer to my anxiety as "the evil man who lives in my head" and my friends roll with it LOL, always telling me that I should not be listening to him. I'm going to replay this game again soon, but I wanted to leave a comment about how much I adore it! <3
GOSH you replayed it 😭 I'm really touched that you remembered and wanted to pick it up again 🥹 and 😭😭😭 you use the game to explain what anxiety is like!!! To be honest when I first concepted the game I was mostly like "hehe this will be between me and all the people who happen to have the exact same brand of anxiety 😂" so I was really surprised and happy to see people play it who didn't have anxiety and said that it helped them to understand the experience. THE EVIL MAN WHO LIVES IN YOUR HEAD 😂 honestly... real, and I swear I thought I kicked that guy out long ago and for some reason he keeps moving back in at random times... smh...
Thank you for playing and for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment 🥹 comments like these really give me so much motivation to continue making games!
W-wair... A completed game..? n-not a demo? So i can play this knowing it's not a demo from 2017 that has been canceled years later??? I love this already giving my full opinion in a few days
Gosh, I'm honored 🥹 as a writer, I'm so touched when the stories that I tell ring true to people's IRL experience! I had similar experiences 🥲 sometimes it's not easy, but I hope that you're doing well 💪 Thank you so much for playing! ☺️
Maybe half way through, but WOW! Kalei and MC are extremely relatable as a hormonal highschooler with ADHD and anxiety, it just feels so good. this game that is, it feels as if someone actually takes the time to understand MC and a beautiful friendship devolves. Its such a good story (with 2 beautifully voice acted and designed chacters). It's like a part of me is in each and every character and just feels, well feels nice to be understood (sorry for the yap). GREAT GAME!!!
HELLO, gosh 😭 I'm so happy to hear that 🥹The game was based on a pretty similar (anxiety-ridden) part of my own life 😅 so I'm really glad that it rings true to your experience too 🥹 Your praise is too kind, thank you 😭 (and hehe the VAs did SO fantastically, they were absolutely perfect for the roles!)
I really can't express how much comments like this mean to me 💦 As a creative, I'm always so happy when someone can feel understood through my work 😭 Again, thank you so much for playing and taking the time to comment, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed playing 🥹
Hello, hello!! Oh gosh, thank you so much 🥹 That's so kind of you! Unfortunately with the way that I coded the game, I didn't incorporate a way to easily change the language 😓 I've updated this with my current games, but MindMindMind was made with old code, sadly 😭 so I think it would be a bit difficult to implement! Thank you so much for offering, though 😭 it is too kind!!!
Love the game, took me a little bit to understand it but I got that Geist is the mental manifestation of our anxiety. Convincing us to be quiet, that we don't belong, that everyone is looking at you and judging you when... truthfully, everyone is too caught up in themselves to think like that. I really enjoyed us telling him off, saying what we want and going for it! Had me all game wanting to punch the blondie lol. 1/1, 2/2 and beyond!
Gosh, thank you so much for playing, I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🥹 I do know that sometimes people "understand" what Geist is right from the start 🤣 but I do love it when it takes a little bit of time to "click" and there's the "ah-ha" moment of "so THAT'S what that jerk is!" It's too true, sometimes it takes some time to realize that everyone is too wrapped up with their own troubles to care too much about how awkward you're being 🤣 I'm glad that you found the ending satisfying 🙏 after an entire game of listening to him, I hope it was worth it! 😆
Chattercap, THIS IS AMAZING!! Like seriously, the way that Geist represents the little voice in your head (anxiety maybe?) that tells you you're not good enough and everyone hates you. I feel like I'm still struggling with the Geist in my head, but now I realize that I probably shoudn't listen to it that much. I shouldn't think of myself as less than or that everybody hates me when I make a mistake. Although I don't struggle with it as much as MC does, I now realize that yeah maybe I do have anxiety.
Thank you for making this game! I wouldn't have realized this much about myself if I haven't played it. I'll try not to listen to the little Geist in my head as much as I do now.
OHH gosh you are too kind, thank you for checking out another one of my games!! 😭 💦 💦 (Ohh very correct regarding Geist!) I'm really glad that you enjoyed it and touched that you saw your own experience in the story; I based the game a lot on my past self, and so it's been really validating to hear that people shared similar experiences, or that they realized things about themselves by playing. It really makes me glad that it was a worthwhile story to tell 🥹 I wish you the best of luck with your own Geist 💪 and thank you again for playing and taking the time to leave your thoughts!
I'm not even done yet but the way Geist is every single bit of my anxiety MANIFESTED you did such a good job with him. I'm so glad I'm in a place now were I feel like I want to strangle him rather than agree with him.
He's lucky he's pretty but I'm not letting a blonde man tell me what to do 😤
Gosh THANK YOU, I'm really happy that the representation was good 😭 (and that you're in a much better place now 😂 when I look back now, allowing yourself to be controlled by your fears is really the scariest thing 😂) Thank you so much for playing ☺️
Ack I'm sorry 😭 hopefully it works in the next update! I do plan on making an Android build for MMM sometime in the future (basically I'll have to remove the animations for it, but I don't think it should affect the experience too much), but unfortunately it will take a bit of time so it's on the backburner for the time being 💦
You're so sweet! I'm happy to know that an android version is going to be made, some developers wouldn't bother making a port of their game. Thank you very much!
GOSH you're too kind 😭💦 and I'm very glad that you found it relatable 🥹💦 I must have done something right 🤣
And YES, they were both utterly fantastic!! I was really worried about casting correctly for this one, and I was lucky to find two VAs that were PERFECT. For Kalei, in particular, I was worried about finding an authentic cast for his accent, so I was SO happy that I found Noah 😭💦
Thank you so much for playing, and for taking the time to leave your thoughts! I really appreciate them 🥹
both times i played through this.. this game made me cry more times that i would like to admit- it describing geist's touch as cold is so accurate and the way i can relate to the mc way too much.
i still don't know how to feel about geist.. he seems like the perfect image of an manipulative narcissistic boyfriend, but that is what i love in him- he is.. accurate?
yes he is cold and mean and sometimes heartless but still comforting.. maybe i just feel this way cause i suffer from social anxiety and have had few bad relationships but i think all the characters are done very well.
😭😭😭 I'm tearing up reading this comment, thank you so much!! (Of course I hope you weren't too upset while playing 😭 but I'm really glad that the story resonated with you so deeply.)
And OHHH that's interesting! Honestly I've found that a lot more people REALLY DISLIKE him than not, but when I wrote him I intended him to be a little "ambiguous." That even though you know that he's terrible, there's something comforting and familiar about him that draws you to him anyway. Since at the end of the day I think that anxiety is not an inherently evil thing, just something that can hurt us if we let it take too much control.
Again, I can't express how thankful I am that you took the time to play it through twice and left a comment 😭 I'm so grateful!
exactly, anxiety isn't fully bad (just as geist seems genuinely hurt and nervous when mc snaps at him) . it just depends on how much we let it take control, it is made to protect us, but if you let it control your full life you find yourself unable to take even the smallest risks.
Tbh I took the tw lightly. I didn't expect to experience an anxiety simulator haha. MC is really relatable - sometimes too relatable for my comfort. Which means you did an amazing job with creating these characters. I hated Geist with all of my heart (although he looks so cute ;-;) For now, I took the 'happy' route. I think I will try the Geist route but I need to take a breather. This game is really, really intense.
I absolutely adore Kalei. He is such a comfort person, a true human puppy. He even sounds like sunshine. Just LOVE him. The voice actors did an amazing job btw. Insults in a british accent just hit different.
😭 ACK I hope that you were all right 💦💦 (I know that most people probably won't go into this game expecting an anxiety simulation 😅) although I'm glad that it was relatable/accurate to your experience 🥹 ALAS I AM GLAD THAT HE IS CUTE, otherwise this game would truly be horrifying to get through 😂
THE VOICE ACTORS DID SUCH A GOOD JOB, I'm so glad that you liked them 😭 I really wanted to voice this game in particular due to the nature of it, and I worried so much about getting actors that fit the part, but both of them really knocked it out of the park 💦 I was so lucky that they were willing to participate 😭
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and leave your thoughts 🥹 Of course I always love when anyone plays my games (regardless of what they think of them), but it's always special when it rings true to someone else's experience! Thank you again 😭💦

I loved everything about this
it's been one year and i still can't play this game bc it doesn't progress beyond "I look forward to Monday" even on steam ahshahhad
Bueno, definitivamente AMÉ a Kalei. Por otro lado pues...Sí, Geist no es nada más ni nada menos que esa voz interna, esos pensamientos intrusivos, y toda la negatividad que nos consumé. Me encantó su personaje en el sentido de que pues... está bien desarrollado para la función que debía desempeñar. Y su final fue justo lo que esperaba. Nice game!
I was terrified by the fact i found myself agreeing and nodding along to geist like.. i think thats bad but internally i was like' well yeah hes right, people just tolerate me-'
Hearing geist talking to the mc is like hearing my mind speaking to me
oouuu... gosh first of all i absolutely loved kalei he's such a supportive and sweet presence in this game, there couldn't have been a better person to give our mc a little push 😭 geist is SUCH a clever analogy too! even though i had to begrudgingly push through some of his dialogue (like omg let me romance this sweet man in peace thank u very much ?? so much sass and for what) its sooo accurate and in touch with some of my experiences with negative self talk!! really hit the nail on the head with social panic, isolation, and end-of-the-world speeches. it says a lot that i can now play through something like this and roll my eyes HARD at his rhetoric while also feeling the moments and understanding how real those spirals are. really loved the shift of his intentions at the end of kalei's route, it almost makes me like him <3 (/silly). much much love creator thank you!!!

Okay so I may have social anxiety. Geist's input is a little too close to home and now I wanna fight him.
💪💪💪 (Same honestly)
the reviews are making me MAAADD curious and invested but no android 💔 I was wondering if there would be an android version released soon or later??
AHH I'm honored that you're interested 😭 I do plan on releasing an Android version sometime soon that should have most of the features except for the 2D animations!

No problem ^^ that's a shame actually I would've loved to have 100%
I'm always interested in achievements in any title, it's one of the main reasons I personally play and/or purchase.
loveee the representation of anxiety! made me sing the song of doechiii <3 thhank you for the game!
I had NO IDEA that doechii wrote that song 😆😆 Making that my headcanon for geist's background music now LOL Thank you so much for playing!!! 🥰
geist does not let up omg 😭 he hurt my feelings so many times </333 i lovedd playing this, both routes were so beautiful i was so immersed in the storyline because i felt i could rlly put myself in mc's shoes 🥹 ty for this lovely vn
😂😂😂 HE REALLY DOES NOT someone needs to come and put some tape over his mouth for a SECOND! And YOU PLAYED BOTH ROUTES, I'm so touched 🥹 I'm glad that you found the MC relatable!! Thank you so much for playing 😊
wowie!!!! loved this, ,, wonderful representation of anxiety ^_^
OH thank you so much!!!! 🥹 I'm really glad you liked it!! 😆

W-wair... A completed game..? n-not a demo? So i can play this knowing it's not a demo from 2017 that has been canceled years later??? I love this already giving my full opinion in a few days
😂 Yes! I hope you enjoy!
omg this hit too close to home, esp since im exactly like mc — definitely the most relatable character ive played as
Gosh, I'm honored 🥹 as a writer, I'm so touched when the stories that I tell ring true to people's IRL experience! I had similar experiences 🥲 sometimes it's not easy, but I hope that you're doing well 💪 Thank you so much for playing! ☺️
Maybe half way through, but WOW!

HELLO, gosh 😭 I'm so happy to hear that 🥹The game was based on a pretty similar (anxiety-ridden) part of my own life 😅 so I'm really glad that it rings true to your experience too 🥹 Your praise is too kind, thank you 😭 (and hehe the VAs did SO fantastically, they were absolutely perfect for the roles!)
I really can't express how much comments like this mean to me 💦 As a creative, I'm always so happy when someone can feel understood through my work 😭 Again, thank you so much for playing and taking the time to comment, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed playing 🥹
The concept is really original ! Loved the game and especially my pookie Kalei. Would you want a French translation ?
Hello, hello!! Oh gosh, thank you so much 🥹 That's so kind of you! Unfortunately with the way that I coded the game, I didn't incorporate a way to easily change the language 😓 I've updated this with my current games, but MindMindMind was made with old code, sadly 😭 so I think it would be a bit difficult to implement! Thank you so much for offering, though 😭 it is too kind!!!
Oh, does that mean it would be possible for "The Perfect Woman" ?
I actually started implementing it after "The Perfect Woman"! So all the projects I release from now on should have the feature!
Love the game, took me a little bit to understand it but I got that Geist is the mental manifestation of our anxiety. Convincing us to be quiet, that we don't belong, that everyone is looking at you and judging you when... truthfully, everyone is too caught up in themselves to think like that. I really enjoyed us telling him off, saying what we want and going for it! Had me all game wanting to punch the blondie lol. 1/1, 2/2 and beyond!
Gosh, thank you so much for playing, I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🥹 I do know that sometimes people "understand" what Geist is right from the start 🤣 but I do love it when it takes a little bit of time to "click" and there's the "ah-ha" moment of "so THAT'S what that jerk is!" It's too true, sometimes it takes some time to realize that everyone is too wrapped up with their own troubles to care too much about how awkward you're being 🤣 I'm glad that you found the ending satisfying 🙏 after an entire game of listening to him, I hope it was worth it! 😆
10/10 storytelling! I love Kalei! He's so sweet!! The storytelling is also amazing! It tackles this sensitive topic in a mature, sensitive way.
THANK YOU, Kalei is one of my favorite love interests that I've written, and I'm glad I did the topic justice! 😊
Chattercap, THIS IS AMAZING!! Like seriously, the way that Geist represents the little voice in your head (anxiety maybe?) that tells you you're not good enough and everyone hates you. I feel like I'm still struggling with the Geist in my head, but now I realize that I probably shoudn't listen to it that much. I shouldn't think of myself as less than or that everybody hates me when I make a mistake. Although I don't struggle with it as much as MC does, I now realize that yeah maybe I do have anxiety.
Thank you for making this game! I wouldn't have realized this much about myself if I haven't played it. I'll try not to listen to the little Geist in my head as much as I do now.
OHH gosh you are too kind, thank you for checking out another one of my games!! 😭 💦 💦 (Ohh very correct regarding Geist!) I'm really glad that you enjoyed it and touched that you saw your own experience in the story; I based the game a lot on my past self, and so it's been really validating to hear that people shared similar experiences, or that they realized things about themselves by playing. It really makes me glad that it was a worthwhile story to tell 🥹 I wish you the best of luck with your own Geist 💪 and thank you again for playing and taking the time to leave your thoughts!
I'm not even done yet but the way Geist is every single bit of my anxiety MANIFESTED you did such a good job with him. I'm so glad I'm in a place now were I feel like I want to strangle him rather than agree with him.
He's lucky he's pretty but I'm not letting a blonde man tell me what to do 😤
Gosh THANK YOU, I'm really happy that the representation was good 😭 (and that you're in a much better place now 😂 when I look back now, allowing yourself to be controlled by your fears is really the scariest thing 😂) Thank you so much for playing ☺️
I think I can play it on Joiplay now, but I need to know what version of Godot you used. There are only plugins for Godot version 3 and 4.
Oh I'm glad to hear that! I used Godot 4!
That's great! I'll try it now.
It's no good. Maybe in the next Joiplay update.
Ack I'm sorry 😭 hopefully it works in the next update! I do plan on making an Android build for MMM sometime in the future (basically I'll have to remove the animations for it, but I don't think it should affect the experience too much), but unfortunately it will take a bit of time so it's on the backburner for the time being 💦
You're so sweet! I'm happy to know that an android version is going to be made, some developers wouldn't bother making a port of their game. Thank you very much!
This was so incredible, so relatable I cried. Both routes were so well done, and the UI is impeccable!!!
GOSH you are too kind 🥹💦💦 Thank you so much for playing and taking the time to comment! 😭
holy wow was this game so good, and unfortunately so relatable. The anxiety that mc feels hits too close to home, i almost felt like crying haha!
The va's did a wonderful job, they both knocked it out of the park with this one. And, I was shocked to hear a familiar voice to be Noah Keawekane!!
This was absolutely amazing, and so well done!
GOSH you're too kind 😭💦 and I'm very glad that you found it relatable 🥹💦 I must have done something right 🤣
And YES, they were both utterly fantastic!! I was really worried about casting correctly for this one, and I was lucky to find two VAs that were PERFECT. For Kalei, in particular, I was worried about finding an authentic cast for his accent, so I was SO happy that I found Noah 😭💦
Thank you so much for playing, and for taking the time to leave your thoughts! I really appreciate them 🥹
both times i played through this.. this game made me cry more times that i would like to admit- it describing geist's touch as cold is so accurate and the way i can relate to the mc way too much.
i still don't know how to feel about geist.. he seems like the perfect image of an manipulative narcissistic boyfriend, but that is what i love in him- he is.. accurate?
yes he is cold and mean and sometimes heartless but still comforting.. maybe i just feel this way cause i suffer from social anxiety and have had few bad relationships but i think all the characters are done very well.
absolutely amazing work!
😭😭😭 I'm tearing up reading this comment, thank you so much!! (Of course I hope you weren't too upset while playing 😭 but I'm really glad that the story resonated with you so deeply.)
And OHHH that's interesting! Honestly I've found that a lot more people REALLY DISLIKE him than not, but when I wrote him I intended him to be a little "ambiguous." That even though you know that he's terrible, there's something comforting and familiar about him that draws you to him anyway. Since at the end of the day I think that anxiety is not an inherently evil thing, just something that can hurt us if we let it take too much control.
Again, I can't express how thankful I am that you took the time to play it through twice and left a comment 😭 I'm so grateful!
exactly, anxiety isn't fully bad (just as geist seems genuinely hurt and nervous when mc snaps at him) . it just depends on how much we let it take control, it is made to protect us, but if you let it control your full life you find yourself unable to take even the smallest risks.
as a hawaiian, got so starstruck seeing so many things so close to home :)) had so much fun playing
AWW that makes me so happy 😊 ✨ I'm so glad you enjoyed!!! 🌺
I just finished playing. I can only say... WOW.
Tbh I took the tw lightly. I didn't expect to experience an anxiety simulator haha. MC is really relatable - sometimes too relatable for my comfort. Which means you did an amazing job with creating these characters. I hated Geist with all of my heart (although he looks so cute ;-;)
For now, I took the 'happy' route. I think I will try the Geist route but I need to take a breather. This game is really, really intense.
I absolutely adore Kalei. He is such a comfort person, a true human puppy. He even sounds like sunshine. Just LOVE him. The voice actors did an amazing job btw. Insults in a british accent just hit different.
Great game, thanks! :)
😭 ACK I hope that you were all right 💦💦 (I know that most people probably won't go into this game expecting an anxiety simulation 😅) although I'm glad that it was relatable/accurate to your experience 🥹 ALAS I AM GLAD THAT HE IS CUTE, otherwise this game would truly be horrifying to get through 😂
THE VOICE ACTORS DID SUCH A GOOD JOB, I'm so glad that you liked them 😭 I really wanted to voice this game in particular due to the nature of it, and I worried so much about getting actors that fit the part, but both of them really knocked it out of the park 💦 I was so lucky that they were willing to participate 😭
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and leave your thoughts 🥹 Of course I always love when anyone plays my games (regardless of what they think of them), but it's always special when it rings true to someone else's experience! Thank you again 😭💦
