it's like one of those stories that takes up half of a sci-fi mag and it keeps going inside of itself and nobody is exactly sure what impulse each other is exploring. "first" contact, tumbling combinations of unknowables, overlaps between impossible things, (anti)-climax

You really knocked it out of the park with this one, dawg. There's a ton to unpack here obv but what I'm really struck by is how you maintained tension and interest across a single 10k+ word scene, all the swirling back and forth power and emotional dynamics between the different characters. I just really love the way your stuff grips me without releasing until the last possible moment
Like an old science fiction short story, never sure where it is going, unfolding like a strange flower. words from another language. ambiguity. merger. it smells like old an paperback. love you number three : - )
An absolutely mesmerizing story. I enjoyed playing through fast and letting the narrative hit me as quickly as I could process it. Fantastic music and visuals really captured the esoteric nature of the game.
