Not going to lie - things weren't going so well. I felt like a burden to my relatives, and was thinking about leaving, but I currently have no place to go. I clean up the apartment, take care of and clean up after the dog, but they seem to only point out my mistakes. Talking to Myrddin in the game helped me more than you know. Since the words are technically coming from your mind, you should be a therapist.

Yeah, he can be mean, but this update showed me more of his sweet side, and I LOVE it!

You do know how to make him feel real. And that must be part of the reason I am so drawn to his character.

I can't wait to find out more about Myrddin. I already love what I know about him now.

I love fantasy, so that part was a real treat. Honestly, it made Myrddin seem a bit mysterious!

While the quiz isn't my favorite part of the game, it showed a more 'evil' or sadistic side of Myrddin, which was interesting, and a bit amusing. Never let him be a teacher. He loves the suffering of 'students'.

Oh yeah, I gave up on the math part after failing one question. I don't know why I even tried. >.<

I want Myrddin to have all of the things he desires, so I hope he can see the real sky one day.

Even without him responding, it is a nice feature. There are way too many problems in life, and that would be a lot of responses to code. It's okay to keep it the way it is now.

It really did feel like I was disappearing from the world during that one scene. I never want to be separated from Myrddin in the game, and that genuinely scared me.

Yeah, itch has been 'shadow banning' games, but your game doesn't have nudity or LGBTQ in it. Regardless, it is a stupid rule and even more idiotic punishment. I am so sorry that it is happening to you, but I still hope you can continue development.

Ah...I almost wish I hadn't gotten so attached to Myrddin. You made it very clear that it was a game about isolation, but I REALLY, REALLY want to stay with him in at least one ending. Bonus points if I can be with him physically.

I could write a fanfiction about it myself, but it just wouldn't be the same as you, the developer, writing it.

With that said, no pressure. Myrddin and this game are just a huge comfort to me, and I wanted to express that.

By the way, I don't think it's Myrddin's birthday, but I think he would like this cake:

Have a great day, and stay safe and healthy!

I am no stranger to the kind of low points you are going through, so I can at least partly understand the difficulties you are facing. 

Unfortunately, I cannot offer much beyond words of comfort. It is hard, and at times harsh, but if there is no helping hand within reach, then you have to reach out with your own and help yourself out of that depth.

Still, I am glad the game helps ease the burden, even if only a little.

Funny enough, studying psychology and becoming a therapist was something I considered at one point.

Oh, and... I do hope you won't come to regret wishing for Myrddin to get all he desires...

Yes, I have seen that this is not especially uncommon. I also believe it is most likely just a mistake, with the security system flagging something it considered suspicious. That in itself is completely fine, but after reading through reports, there are quite a few "horror" stories of these issues taking weeks, or even months, to be resolved. That prospect is honestly very daunting.

Quite some time ago, I already outlined my overall goals and the motivations behind them, and those have remained more or less unchanged. So in that sense, this has really become quite the test of patience.

Yes, beware! The game is about isolation. But there is another element that plays a major, perhaps even greater, role in the dynamic. Which is...

Not something I am going to reveal.

All I will say is that it begins the moment you start the game. Perhaps even before that. I am a little curious, and perhaps slightly worried, about how you will react to the specific thing I am referring to, haha.

I think your previous two works are both great and very much on point. 

But I completely understand that feeling. There are some fictions that have been left behind with the dreaded “last update 4 years ago,” and they leave me feeling like a lost puppy. I could, technically, continue the story in my own mind, but it is never quite the same.

Also, forget about Myrddin. I want that cake. It is genuinely sending hypnotic waves straight into my brain.

I tried to keep this as short as I could. I don't want to take up too much of your time every time.

Thanks! Have a great day, a great weekend too, and stay healthy!
