Seeing it from both their perspectives and how it affected them was a really cool idea. The way Kel felt neglected was horrible and while he loves Yaan he was too busy and overworked to realise how his distance was affecting him.
I like the different choices you can make, how you can try and be a good partner and prove yourself or how you can ignore it and how that effects the story and their relationship. This game is really good, I got a good ending on my first playthrough. Kel leaves and Yaan realises how serious it was and tries to make it right. He does the work and shows he now knows how Kel felt and would never make him feel alone again.
It's a really cool game, the set up and the extra information you can get. I do wonder how you get to see the cat though?
:)
I love being able to see both perspectives, though there seems to be a bug where the endings don't update.
Thank you for playing, and for letting me know about the bug! I'll take a look
This story really captured the stagnant and neglected feeling from a relationship, and the things that can move to repair it. I enjoyed it a lot.
A very belated thank you for playing and for your kind words--glad it resonated with you!!
As an absolute sucker for dual perspectives of the same relationship, I really enjoyed playing this. The achievements were a nice touch, and I'll definitely be trying my hand at getting them all.
Thank you for playing; so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!
