A lovely game. <3
thank you for playing!
this game was so beautiful. it was short and simple and honestly normally that turns me off from a game (but i was sucked in because TRANS MC!!!) but the simplicity made everything so much more impactful. the ending was so sweet. im transmasc but even i could see a part of myself in Thalia :')
i might have my little sister play this, she's in high school and just recently came out to us as transfem. i think it'd make her feel a lot better having something that she could relate to.
hell, im considering having my mom play the game.. she and my dad have had a hard time accepting my sister is actually trans and not just confused/copying me, but i think this would be a great way to change her perspective.
even though the word transgender is never said in the game, it's still a really accurate and beautiful representation. thank you for making it.
thank you so much for trying it out! I hope things will work out for you and your sister.
i created an account just to tell you how much i loved this game.
as a trans woman who went stealth in high school, i had to hide myself from people i knew all my life just to maintain a secret i had forced on myself out of fear. i sometimes wonder if i'd had made lifelong friends if i had decided to be honest.
this game tapped into those feelings. i was screaming at Thalia in my head to tell him at every corner, but I know that if Thalia was me from high school, I'd have never told Percy anything. He would have left town and I'd have missed out on something beautiful.
Thank you for making this, and I hope me sharing my feelings and experience is not unwelcome. Games like this make me feel grateful that works of art even exist in this world.
thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I'm very happy my game resonated with someone so much—I had been considering not finishing it as it felt a bit too simple, but I forced myself to finish it anyway. if it can mean this much to someone, then I'm glad I finished it. thank you for playing!!
I don't think I've ever seen a visual novel quite hit a level of niche I craved without even knowing before. This was such a wonderful read, thank you so much!!
thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
