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 😭💦

omg this hit too close to home, esp since im exactly like mc — definitely the most relatable character ive played as

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!

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.

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! 😊

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!

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 🤣

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.
