Love the game, I can feel most of this and have these affects even today in high school, I am surprised with the accuracy

(Idk why my recorder hates text based games but still good commentary and doesn't lag too much)

As someone with depression, I feel this a lot. I obviously don't have the exact same experiences but I still thank you a lot for this. :)

Thank you so much, I’m happy this project can help to spread awareness and understanding. No one is in this alone!
