game of give you a tummy ache (affectionate)
Thank you! Yes, game of ouch
This was heartbreakingly beautiful. The layouts are striking in their use of negative space and color and texture. But more than that, the words are haunting. The mechanics work perfectly to tell the story, whether you play the game or just read it. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Wow, your thoughts on this really made my day. Thank you for engaging with Excavation One in such a generous way. It means a lot.
Thank you for making it! This game really helped me understand what appeals to me about lyric/literary games.
It really made me reflect on my past writing and how I truly wrote about what I am but not quite in the way I thought I did.
To hear that my work helped you reflect on your own -- that's great! Thank you for commenting.
This is gorgeously painful.
Holy crap, thank you so much! It was not easy to make, so I'm glad it's doing what it's meant to do.
