Notes on theme:
I highkey spent half a day thinking about the theme because I didn't want to make a finance/resource management game and came up with this idea because your choices mean life or death => your life is valuable? But also it's so tangential that I completely understand if the game seems unthematic LOL

I got the ending where she was in the bathroom, and the ending where they were hangin out on the bed or whatever. The endings had the same name so I can't tell if these were two separate endings, or just slight variations of the same ending.
Sometimes there were a few little bugs in the choices, where I chose something, and then it'd repeat dialogue and I was presented with the exact same set of choices. I thought I was gonna be in an endless loop but I got to a different path. It was one of the first few choices on the bed, some combination of them if you want to look into it. Speaking of choices, sometimes I would accidentally press choices as I was going through the story since they popped up immediately. Although that could come down to me being dumb and going too fast.
Theme was sorta fitting I suppose. At least fitting enough where its down to personal interpretation or whatever.
You're right though, a tad unthematic haha, I too struggled to do something different with the theme. I'm really glad you created what you did though. Thank you
Really immersive, and hearing shiloh while playing was soo good!
Lo-fi + good art + immersive story, that's all I wanted for a game and now I have it.
Thanks for this.
Great game overall!
As you wrote yourself, the game seems to be out of theme, but I don't care. It's great and I'm a big fan of your work.
Unfortunately, I got stuck in a dialogue on my second playthrough, but was a great experience nonetheless.
Very well done! :thumbsup:
