Well, that was a trip. šŸ¤”
Edit: I think thereā€™s an error within ā€œyou sneeze nearly blindsā€. Not sure if it just lacks a comma or if ā€œblindsā€ should be ā€œblindingā€. šŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™‚ļø

Haha, thanks. I had fun embracing the weird with this one

Wow this was so bittersweet. I really felt the loss and pain through the narrator's eyes and thoughts, and loved how you portrayed the senselessness of grief and coming to terms with it. I also got the "taking a break" ending! Looking forward to playing again and seeing some other ones.

I also got ā€œtaking a breakā€.

By the way, the game says it isnā€™t mobile friendly, but itā€™s fine. I think you need to check the mobile box on the game info

Oh, bless you, thanks. I rushed through getting the game posted and probably missed a lot of details šŸ˜…
