(Also has no commentary.)

Welp, really had a lot of experience in this short game, and it's such a wild ride, it impacted me. Pretty discomforting, and also a depressing game in general. There are number of things I really relate on the characters of this game. (Again really pretty cool art.) I guess the unfortunate part the gameplay choices still lag (in the higher/lower choices.) I guess I'm going to say at this point I might have a potato hardware. (DELL Inspiron 14 Curse)

Overall, it's a great game! I enjoyed it, in such I felt a lot of emotions.

The way you get the endings is really cleverly done. =D

uhmm, I couldn't trigger the first one in the collection,. I've gotten everything except the first but couldn't get the thing, even after reading the condition.

Also while playing the game... it weirdly lags on the menu choices, or just choices in general, including the shop, but everything else is smooth. I'm unsure if it has something to do with the crazy plugins (very cool btw, will make a review about it once I guess played it more properly and get to the last ending I guess that I haven't gotten), or maybe... is there a plugin used in the choices?

Thank you so much for playing! About the first one in the collection, there's unfortunately a glitch with that. I've fixed it but due to the jam's lock on uploads, I cannot update the game download until post-jam...
As for the lag, I'll look into that! Thank you for letting me know! I don't use plugins when it comes to the choices, so it's likely just an issue with too much being processed at once with the eventing. That one should be an easy fix. Thank you again!

(+1)

no problem! So I guess I'm just going to wait the post jam update then. Well if my memory serves correctly, during when I was playing,  the glitch is like the first memory becomes the main menu background for some unknown reason.

Yup, sounds like the bug! The game uses a persistent data plugin to make sure the player can keep their data even if they close out the game, but unfortunately a little too late in development I realized it had a lot of problems with some of the event processing, which caused that bug... I did get that one fixed though!
