Everyone else already said what I wanted to say, but do want you to know I read this in one sitting, which is really rare due to concentration problems. The character development is so well written, and I seriously appreciate how the self-harm is depicted in a way that’s not for shock value or intended to make the reader uncomfortable.
Your games are truly something special and I look forward to playing through all of them eventually.
Beautiful story and art once again!
I loved the strange feeling of the facility, it’s got this sort of clinical, liminal, abandoned but not in a bad way kind of vibe, it’s really comfortable to me but there is always this uncanny feeling hanging in the air (like there were so many chairs in that introduction room, the entrance was all locked up, and it feels like every doorway leads into darkness!) That being said, having your own personal robot therapist 24/7 seems like a dream lol; I also really like how you turn that concept on its head a little and highlight the possibly dangerous features of AI that we’re already facing today. Eleanor’s character is really compelling and written in such a vulnerable way and the bunny visuals are perfect.
Thank you T_T I appreciate it and am happy my intent was clear!! The AI features.. It was made at the beginning of the boom, so it was interesting to write as a result and is nice to reflect on.
The facility having certain vibes is really important to me! Zed captured it so well. I'm really happy he did the backgrounds as I feel like the vibes would've been so different without him!
this made cry a lot because when ama was talking and saying my name which is also Eleanor it felt like someone was listening to me. I also like the usage of the name Eleanor since it means the "light of god"
Made me cry. 10/10.
I also like Eleanor a lot. She is great and is drawn very well. I also really like that in the memory/dream parts her and Calliope are rabbits.
loved the artwork!!! i also appreciated the frank and upfront, uncensored depiction of elanors body - it felt rlly vulnerable
WORDS CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS GAME!!! GJ!! X3 ALSO WHATS THE SONG AT THE CREDITS PLS?
apologies. i never saw this. the song is Poisoning Pigeons in the park by Tom Lehrer i believe.
Insanelyyy good!! Fantastic characters, concept, and execution. Honestly really comforting to play.
It was so nice to see her actually get better and return as a thank you instead of needing help again.
this is a experience i would kill to have again. the story telling is amazing and eleanor is such a relateable character. i saw myself in her and the end of it was wholesome and satisfactory. thank you for doing this
thank you so much! this really means a lot to me... i really appreciate you for telling me for thoughts and you're welcome!
This is not a game, it's an experience :) What I feel right now, after having completed the story, is exactly the feeling of having overcome the climax of a moving... well, movie! Today felt rather gloomy for me today. Still, I did what I knew best in such boredom, booted up my PC and went on an internet adventure, as I call them. 0 regret. Made my day, really.
Bless you! You are a talented storyteller, never forget that.
thank you so much! i am so honored. i will remember this comment and carry it with me!
ahhhhh what a moving experience. sometimes it really does just take talking to someone outside your experience to get a level head about it. sometimes you just need someone to take care of you despite it all. the stylistic charm was great, and i really liked how it made a sterile white environment feel comforting. sometimes it's all about perspective.
great work!!! it made my day better
thank you so much :D i'm so happy it improved your day
this was so lovely and beautiful. going through a bad time right now and this was a very calming reprieve <3 I love Eleanor :-)
ah thank you so much. i'm sorry for the late response. this really does mean the world to me, and i'm happy you love Ellie
had this sitting in my downloads for a while but played it today! i love the atmosphere, very dreamlike and relaxing. by the end I was rooting for eleanor to get on the road to recovery and I liked the ending of her being able to go back and visit her new friend
thank you so much! this really means the world to me. i'm happy you enjoyed it and found it relaxing. dreams are a big inspiration :-)
really loved this game. i daydream about this type of surreal medical facility a lot, so it was really nice to spend some time in someone else's imagination. im glad eleanor is getting better and im glad she gets to come back here if she needs to
i'm so happy you loved it! thank you for sharing your thoughts. it really means the world
really nice game super sweet
thank you so much!
Just finished playing it and it's beautiful. The art and the textbox is really unique (in a good way! The vibe kind of reminds me yume 2kki, but also still being really unique to you imo). I also find myself relating to some of Eleanor's feelings and was really happy about the sweet ending. May Eleanor continue to find happiness along with her girlfriend and friends for a long time to come. Thank you for sharing this story with us and pouring your heart into it!
thank you so much!i'm happy you were able to relate to the characters and you are welcome!
this was a sweet story. being cared for without judgement when you need it most... it's nice to feel like there's a path forward.
i’m happy you thought it was sweet and that you connected to it T_T hope is always important to have
cried throughout. very evocative of melancholy and was so gentle. loved reading this
thank you so much for reading. i’m really happy it moved you.
This is so good!!! I found it very comforting and I related to it as a trans girl.
that makes me so happy. thank you for reading
You're welcome! ^_^

i'm really happy you could relate to it and that it made you smile. that's really what i wanted!
