Backspace Backspace Backspace

The portrait of the place where the protagonist hid and read is so pretty. It conveys that lonely but comforting feeling really really well. I was just super impressed by that. And the image of the protagonist's closed eye, the second one in the game. dude, i feel like that evokes its feeling so well, that frustration, disappointment, and tiredness, and shame. God. It's really good. I feel like i've had a lot of moments like this game, when my eyes are dry and aching, and i've been staring at my monitor for hours, and i've yet to write a single sentence. yet to make a single phrase that i can accept. and i just feel awful and stuff. But i think that the next time i'm feeling like that, i'm prob'ly gonna remember this game and chuckle at myself a little. I think that the main thing that i got from it was just a tangible feeling, more believable than when i tell myself this in the moment, that other people've actually felt like that. Overall it was pretty nice.

This looks like an experimental game, with themes of struggle with self-worth, and AI as a comparison of output. The message is a bit weird, starts relatable with the struggling while the character is at the PC, but takes a confusing turn when they leave. After that I couldn't relate to the story, but it was still interesting. The sound and art are nice, don't take the focus from the story. There are a couple of bugs: - I watched the credits first and got locked there, I actually triggered the backspace achievement because I was tapping on the keyboard trying to leave. Had to close the game. - On the in-game menu I clicked to restart, and just stayed locked in the game. Had also to close the game to restart. But it is a very tiny game, good to try if you like experimental stuff.

I must give this game a great deal of applause. At first, I assumed it would be nothing more than a dull, reading-heavy experience. Yet, it turned out to be something truly extraordinary. It made me reflect repeatedly, as everything within the game felt deeply relatable — almost as if it mirrored parts of myself. What struck me even more was how closely the themes aligned with the challenges I am currently facing, turning each line of dialogue into something worth contemplating. Who would have thought that such a simple game could capture my attention so profoundly? A remarkable experience. 10/10.

my cat really loved the pixel art. support experimenting devs <3

Honestly, for this price its a steal. The music and graphics are pretty well made and polished. And Its a short fun game to play through in less than 45 minutes. Ps. loving the achievement "Stop That"

I think all creatives definitely deal with these dark feelings. Sometimes it's comforting to know that we aren't alone but it can be easy to remain in the darkness. Keep on creating!
