Wow, this game is so cool. The way Tiel goes back in time trying to stop this inevitable breakup from his partner. The way you learn he's done this many times before, fixing meetings and fights. Even the way they met. Changing everything to go well and be perfect. I went back many times, trying to see which choices had the better or happier outcome and I honestly think it's him accepting the relationship is over, not manipulating time again and again to get Heron back. Heron obviously feels unwanted and not cared for and I get that. It seems that Tiel is very used to changing things to go how he needed them to, instead of how it should have gone. I wonder how Heron would fell if ey knew about all this, if the relationship would have ended even sooner. Or if Tiel would go back again. I can get wanting to change things that have happened, I think most people would if they could.
But if your entire relationship would be over if you hadn't gone back in time countless times to find the perfect response then maybe it isn't working.
And thats okay.
This game was really cool, I get where they're both coming from but sometimes things don't work out and you have to accept that.
It’s been lovely to see another stab at the same time travel motif from you, and I’ve enjoyed all of the games I’ve played from your assortment. You have a wonderful knack for characterization, especially of nuanced, morally slippery sorts. Definitely an author to keep an eye on. I look forward to playing whatever else you share with us all!
Hi, wow. I was immediately sold at 'time loops,' but playing it just cemented to me how I would have loved this game no matter what.
Your prose is absolutely lovely, and the characterization, background plot, and general premise are all fantastic. I love how each loop felt, with the desire to go back and try again feeling organic and natural, and the themes you cemented with each conversation. (I didn't expect multiple endings, and loved how each one was markedly different but hammered home the same message and conclusion)
SUCH a great illustration of regret, of anger, and of the hard hard choice of letting go of something that makes you happy and why it would be important to do so. About respect, and treating someone with care. (Also just slowly making me realize how yucky the protagonist is and has been wwwwww)
