"I'm disappointed in you."

Whoa. Wowowow. I'd never thought of those words as abusive. I thought it was my fault, for years. Thank you for making this.

This is very well done! Amazing game. It's clever, well executed and with a powerful message. Keep it up!

This is a really astute way of describing things.

<3 You transmited the idea perfectly, both with the narrative and the mechanics

This is awesome, I like it

i really admire how you used something as simple as directions to convey so much meaning!

Really well done

Nice game, it's a hard but necessary theme to talk about 👌
