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 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.
