interesting that you get to learn more about the story only if you choose to participate in the conversation. i like that anon cites some of your comments, it shows that sometimes your words can have a real impact - and sometimes they don't, but it doesn't mean we should stop trying.
i feel like the "narrator says" in-between posts pulled me away from the story. i think the story is powerful enough to stand on its own and it would've been more effective to keep those at the end of the zine only. but i'm also already aware of what transmedicalism is and its effects, so i see how those lines could be helpful for those who don't know about it, esp. if your primary intention was to educate.
that’s totally fair! i think it definitely breaks your immersion, especially if you’re familiar with what concepts i’m speaking on. but thank you for playing through it and leaving your insights! it’s super appreciated! ^__^
Actually, as a trans sibling who has significant age gap and more experience, my little sibling just came out to me and having this sort of "spelling out" or alternative dialogue to help kind of explain intent and context is actually really invaluable to me! So, honestly this has been perfect for helping my little egg baby trans sibling out in finding education and media.
That said, I really don't mind either way and think it would be a really cool piece of work whatever route you took, but it could be an interesting feature to allow altering a setting before playing to make narration optional, or even only unlocked after a second playthrough! Again, I very much like it as is, but might be a consideration that could play with how a piece is digested in future products. If not for fun potential weird shit shenanigans!
Really cool shit you make by the way, I had a manic moment of just binge-downloading a bunch of crap onto my laptop and I'm trying to speedrun through freeing up my poor computer's data. A fun fever dream getting to go through your works, haha!

Sorry, completely random peanut gallery!
