You absolutely nailed the story for an abusive relationship.
I don't know if it's intentional; but Geist comes across as a metaphor for the long-term effects and damage abuse can have on survivors. Sure, you can be out of that relationship, but the memories, the things they said/did still haunt you, control your life.
This was amazing and Geist did a wonderful job of making me want to throw him through a wall for acting exactly like my past relationship. srs frick this guy!
Your story is a game about hope and healing. You don't have to live in fear and thank you for showing this. <3
OH gosh thank you so much 😭 That's extremely high praise!!! (I'll put my comments under a spoiler tag in case anyone comes down here without playing the game first):
=======SPOILERS========
That's a very interesting interpretation, and I don't think that I've seen anyone really focus on that facet of it (I'm really glad you did)! 🤔 I purposefully left Geist's existence a bit vague so that players could interpret him freely - however, I did base his behavior off of some "friendships" that I've had in the past (the term used very loosely 🤣) and how abusive partners seek to break down and isolate you to make you dependent on them. Your interpretation is very true also - after going through these experiences, their words can haunt you for a long time, shattering your self-confidence long after they're gone 🤔
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and that you saw your own experience in it too 🥹🥹🥹 I'm so touched!!! (And I'm glad you're out of that toxicity now 😭) Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts too, I loved reading them!
I honestly don't think I have a favourite, I love both Geist and Kalei equally =D ... I lied. I favour Kalei over Geist. I mean... He's just a big puppy! I adore him. I'd love for the universe to give me a Kalei in my life. Besides that, I love Geist too, because even in solitude you'd need someone and he's there for that
OHH it's surprising to find someone who likes both love interests 😂 Honestly I think you have a point, Kalei is definitely the more lovable love interest but sometimes you just want someone who will chill with you in your darker/quiet moments and Geist is definitely there for that (for better or worse 😂) Thank you so much for playing!!! 🥰
Oh? Well, I guess it just shows I believe variety is the spice of life, though of course! I'm soo gonna play the other games I can get my hands on. I loved this one soo much as is!
oh how i love geist, i personally am not a social butterfly, staying inside all day away from everyone and rewatching comfort shows sounds like a dream to me. 1# geist lover 4ever
LMAOOO HONESTLY GEIST IS AN INTROVERT'S DREAM, a guy who will always be there to just hang out with you alone 😂😂😂 people give the man too much flak for no reason, smh!! (Thank you for playing!)
