I actually started crying, I've never felt so seen by a game before. I feel like that daily, and more as I get older the more I feel less and less understood by my peers and my family. Sometimes all I want is to be heard even if I'm not "understood"

This is gorgeous and devastating. The imagery in your writing is so evocative. And the execution? So well-done! (And I like the effect of the letters drifting around.)

Honestly, this really resonated with me. Maybe it’s ironic, but reading/playing through this made me feel remarkably understood.

I dont understand. I feel you from a computer screen, This is what understanding has been reformed to.

This resonated with me so impossibly hard, as an autistic person. I have always thought that I could solve any problem, if I could just explain myself more, explain myself better, because I thought that other people just weren't understanding me. And if they understood me, then we could work out the problem.

It took me until I was an adult, and until years after my autism diagnosis, to realize that, no matter how much or how well I explained myself, nobody was ever going to understand me. No matter what way I whittled myself down.

This game feels like a take on the sort of despair and distress that comes with that sort of realization. Or, that's what it reminds me of.

This was a really interesting use of the 500 word limit in the jam! I strained so hard to try and make out the words at first... and then the next part happened! It works really well!
