thank you for another song, sylvie and aria!
the difficulty level of this felt perfect to me. i managed to reach the true ending while feeling like it was a struggle but not getting discouraged. (i did ask aria where i was supposed to go one time near the end.)
(spoilers down here)
it made me feel that even when i am struggling with something, it doesn't mean that i am "bad" at doing it. it felt intentional to me that some parts of the game were designed to be struggles before reading the design notes, and seeing your struggles in the notes and in the story of the game made me want to struggle harder to make games. (and to take better care of myself.)
i liked the puzzle that involved the kitties and i was happy that there was a bunny in the game. and dressing up in all the costumes was great.
it was funny seeing the nods to those sylvieish games by other people in a sylvie game. this might be the first sylvieish sylvie game because it has elements that are similar to sylvie games.
i found one tiny little bug, in the downloadable windows version, if you unplug your headphones and then plug them back in, the background music will start again and play over itself.
i'm still looking for my answer to the question at the end. i think it would be hypocritical of me to say that it is worth it without working harder myself. but i want to believe that it is and i want to try harder, and most of all i hope we can find ways to make things without as much pain.
