Nice game and the story was nice. I did find it hard to choose between Aiden and Darien especially with Darien's behavior. I wanted to ask was Aiden being a bug monster thing slowly biting his parents necks a way to symbolized how the grief from Aiden's death was slowly consuming them
Hello! Thank you for playing the game, and in a way yes. It was also inspired by changelings, but in this story after the real Aiden passed away Quione accepted the monster as a way to keep pretending that her son was never gone. Though deep down they knew what the truth was, they were just in denial
Oh, ok thank you for the explanation
You're welcome!
Loved the story and character art! Really nailed the themes of family and loss.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Oh wow I got the good ending! Thank goodness! I personally always put what's best for others over myself to the point I can go overboard so while Quione's almost overwhelming concern about her image wasn't something I could relate to it was so well-done that I could feel it pushing down on me just the same! I tried to balance things out, check on one child so then believe the other but I kept feeling I was failing but then...somehow...made it through! Great job.
thank you! I'm happy to hear you had fun with the game 😁
