omg i've been lookinggg for ur game. such a good game a played a while ago but ur game is amazing and has been on my mind for idk maybe a year. just a great game with great excution (imo) of these serious topics.
i don't know what to say but i needed to say something. i watched this turn from a silly little fun vibes game to a masterpiece that cut to my very core in real time. i'm scared.i'm terrified. i don't know what to do. thank you.
just came back to play this again after playing it for the first time a year ago; every couple of weeks since, something always comes up that makes me think of this. such a great story.
not a trans woman, but a genderfluid person, and a lot of this hit me pretty hard, i cried at the end. i worry a lot about the future, and how it will be for other trans and nonbinary folks. and because of that i often feel like i have some sort of responsibility to take on to help and protect and guide other trans people, especially other nonbinary folks, because of how scary and confusing it can be to navigate through the gender binary, and how many people outside of the community dont take us seriously, not just identity wise, but also as human beings, and thus we will internalize that and not take ourselves seriously. and you can get so entangled in these actions of putting other peoples needs and safety before yours that you start to wonder if its all youre good for, if thats all youre here to do. you start to treat it like thats the task youve been "built" to do, so to speak. and then you start to hurt people unintentionally, without even knowing, because you dont know how to approach these things in a healthy way, and all you so badly want to do is to snuff out this flame thats been giving other people just as a hard time, and for many others, even worse, for other folks that are just like you.
and its hard for me to not doomscroll, or to not watch content that discusses transphobia, because it only strengthens the feeling of "i have to be there for other people in this community". and at first it feels empowering, to want to help and be there for others, but after a while it can evolve into something that i would even say your brain is mainly doing to help keep you alive, because its easy to get sucked into the "whats the point in living when i cant live peacefully" mindset, but then you realize you can help others, and then the only sense of purpose sets in. and then it has the ability to snowball into feeling like this is what youre "built" to do, like i mentioned before.
so all this to say that this game is fucking amazing lol.
i read this for the very first time on sunday, and jesus christ did it hit hard. i am not a trans woman, but i am an intersex woman (+ genderweird, you know how it is), and charity's rant about being reduced to that of a helper and patience talking about how her estrogen was taken away was what truly struck me. the way charity called herself a "desexed faggot" and a "parody of a woman" hit far too close to home for me.
i love this visual novel. its genuinely the best visual novel ive ever read. the presentation and aesthetics and everything else is nothing like ive seen before. this was truly lightning in a bottle. every scene is like a punch to the gut, a look into the psyche of someone, a look in the mirror. it's beautiful. i might even go as far as to say this isnt a vn; its an experience.
ive been thinking about this constantly and already i think im due for a reread. this is a masterpiece, genuinely. thank you for making this.

SCREAMING!!! /pos
hssjskkskk i wanna play this but is there needle penetration??
there's a hospital and an image of an intravenous line in an arm, no textual descriptions of it. i added that warning to be on the safe side
thanks so much!!
This game is so incredibly unique! The surreal 90s internet visuals remind me of the kind of dreams I get if I eat too much chocolate before bed.

What an intense, but fascinating story.

This is amazing, I can't describe this well...but wow. As a Trans Woman some lines hurt like a train
sincere, real, and wonderfully presented
