I liked it. I liked the bitterness, found some of it relatable even if I never put the thoughts to words before... I liked the quiet and discomforting moments shown without a particular care for any one participant within them. It was interesting.
phenomenal prose and dialogue writing. and the fact that this is your first visual novel? what a debut.
hard-hitting intro aside, reading through each chapter felt like a perfect snapshot into the hell that is 2010s-2020s america. #giveelsaagirlfriend, late-night talks about gendered socialization expectations (that one reminded me of some uncomfortable social encounters i had), how every act of ours is recorded, connected to someone else's suffering. the exhaustion and cynicism that comes with witnessing said suffering on a daily basis.
Exactly the kind of hate and anger I want to see. I adore the explicity of this, the frustration, the breaking apart of the idea that art is activism at the start. Thank you for making this piece, and for sharing it.
thank you for reading it, and for everything. the jam has been an energizing experience, though at this point I don't really know what, if anything, that it can accomplish politically/organizationally. hoping that more people get out and get connected enough to really start causing trouble.
thank you for playing. be good to yourself. self-soothe, stabilize, and when you're ready: talk about these feelings with loved ones sooner rather than later, even if you don't have all the words.
you know i was pretty alienated from the jam alreadyas is, but yeah it is frustrating how much of a monument to nothing that traps the energies of the most vulnerable it is, im mad, i live a bad life and this vn made me upset, and i cant direct that at anything i guess im just too tired and pathethic and faking it
thanks for checking it out, glad you got something out of it. it's nice to hear that the intro hit hard. that part was supposed to be pretty angry, so good to hear it did the thing, hopefully didn't put you off the rest of the game too much.
