I was depressed. So, I played this game. I got more depressed. Then I finished the game. All good.

i enjoyed this game a lot!! the puzzles were challenging and had a unique mechanic. the aesthetic reminded me a lot of little nightmares

this is probably some of the most fun i've had in a puzzle platformer! i've already played Contrast (another fantastic game with similar-ish mechanics) so shadow based platforming came naturally to me.
that said this game is oozing with charm and character. the little curtsy each character does as they advance is adorable, the designs are also adorable, and the level design is just wonderful! each act is so unique, and the story, and voice-acting, is heart-wrenching. there are some glitches (absolutely nothing major, just dying when you hit a corner sometimes) and a couple of the lines of dialogue feel.. strange? barely a scratch in this 10/10 game for me!

but truthfully this game means something even deeper to me. i first played this coming out of a bad home, and had just barely began to scratch the surface of believing i deserve good things. on top, i had just began to think inwardly, and wondered if perhaps, i didnt quite agree with my assigned sex.
i played this game right as my mind was making very important changes. and im in full belief this game helped me. by putting myself in the main characters shoes, and thinking on what ive been through, while relating to a lot of what the game had to say, to helped me find who i was and helped define who i wanted to be.
as i played more and more, relating with the main characters more and more, i also started to relate my own struggles with hers. and take the advice given to her, as directed to me.
opening up to myself on who i was, ignoring any negativity that could cloud my judgement, it all hit me with one line.

There she is.

once i began to cry, it wasnt possible to deny myself any more. who i was.
in a very real way, and with no hyperbole, this game saved my life. and it helped me to find the path where i could live, and not loath every day i woke up as myself.

and every so often, i can wake up, see myself, and both think and believe,
well.. there she is.
