as a trans person, i really felt represented. the music was good as well. great game!
Happy to hear! I've written and read a lot of trans stories over the years and wanted to do something a little different. Thank you for playing!
I admire how ethereal the start feels and gradually fade into a genuinely heartwarming story of a girl finding herself :) Nice work!
Good ol' switcheroo. xD
Thank you very much~
incredible, the writing is great and the art is awesome.
Thank you very kindly~
A work of art in my book. It’s been wonderful getting to work with you and see you grow!
Never thought it would get this much attention. Thank you. :)
pretty good
A wonderful bit of euphoria! I love the way that the anxiety and tension in the story gives way to such immense joy. The music is great as well, and the illustrations are fantastic!
Thank you so much! This was definitely a project I wanted to meet the jams goal of bringing trans joy. But why not a little stress and tension along the way? (^~ ^')
Played a little... brilliant story and impactful!
Thank you~
