Ah, man, it's actually almost scary how I share some pretty strong similarities with Ida x3 The likes that you wrote on her character card could just as easily be me, haha. then there's unemployed, yup, check on that one too! T_T Political activist? Not quite, but I'd certainly get more involved in activism if my social anxiety wasn't so crippling >.< What's even more of a freak coincidence though is that I also wear glasses and have a similar hairstyle (right down to the colour xD - though, I did swap my green for red/yellow/orange recently!)

Anyways, the character designs are gorgeous in general :3 And I love that you did small details like matching the speaker's name colour to the character cos little things like that just set off little happy fireworks in my brain, haha.

I was very curious to know what you meant on the game page by use of non-choices, and having played through it, I have to say that it's a feature that works really well :3 I don't think I've ever come across it before, but it goes hand in hand perfectly with the narrative ^-^ I don't want to accidentally spoil it for others, so I guess it's probably best if I put this under spoilers further down!

(Gonna leave out most of my big ol' personal ramble that I left in the jam comments from this version of my comment so it doesn't take up too big of a space on your page x3) The main thing is, I relate to your story even if my own situation isn't exactly the same as Ida's :3 So it was a very heartfelt and touching journey with Ida! <3

I just wanna take a moment to thank you for writing a protagonist like Ida because I feel like you just don't get characters like that in most big commercial releases, and I'm so glad you can find them now and then in the wonderful world of indie!


!!Spoilers below!!





Not being able to say the things I'd really like to made me feel even more attached to Ida as an MC because that's pretty much how my life goes x3 Even among friends, when asked what I want, I will 99.9% of the time answer with a "don't know" or a "you can choose" or "I don't mind!" x3 And when it comes to other stuff, I rarely feel able to say what's on my mind cos I'm always more concerned with pleasing others than saying how I feel, even if it's detrimental to me >.< So yeah, I really feel for poor Ida cos it's tough. I'm glad it was possible to see her stand up for herself in the end though :3

Thank you so much for your review! <3

I really liked the character designs, a very original style! As for the story, it was really funny but also had it's deep moments, tottaly worth getting to. And oh god, tottaly worth to scream at Ida's parents!!!

Also, very nice message at the end of the game ;)
