I don't typically leave comments on like anything but I feel compelled to with this vn because it had me feeling very emotional/vulnerable and very seen. I'm going to try not to spoil anything too much and still get all my thoughts out as best as I can.
This was such a good way to explore how some people use bdsm as a way to deal with trauma or self loathing. I love that it shows how if it's approached wrong it can further traumatize someone but it can also be super liberating and healing if done right!
As a queer and trans person the theme of sexuality affecting self worth and making it feel like you are inherently unlovable or somehow undeserving of basic human decency really touched me.I also really understand that feeling of being disconnected from ones own body both in the trans dysphoria way and in the disassociation because of trauma way.
And I wanna talk about the reveal in the 3rd chapter but I don't wanna give away such a big thing either... I think you handled something really well that is frequently shown in a super stigmatized and negative light. I don't want to assume anything about you personally but it felt very much like it was coming from first hand experience. If it's not something you personally experience, then I'm even more impressed by how well it was depicted and handled! Honestly, the way mental health things are shown in this vn in general is really well done!
I hope you feel proud of yourself because you deserve to. This vn was amazing and I can tell a lot of heart and effort went into making it! I hope you do make another game eventually but please take care of yourself first and foremost. Thanks for making and sharing this.I'm really glad I played it.
