It sucks, y'know
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A short game about you and your mom.
But instead of feeling like home, why does it feel like the opposite instead?

this game really really hit home for me as someone who has dealt with body shaming from a parental figure. everything from the writing, the voice acting, and the art was extremely well done and i was impacted emotionally.
also poggers toasty artwork in the bg.
10/10
First of all, I would like to rate this a very, very absolutely poggers score. I adore the writing, art, voice and the music. This is pretty well done for a first game, I would love to congratulate you for making this huge step. Looking forward to your future ones!
Now with that out of the way, I absolutely adore the menu music. I have thought the knocks were real, and it somehow reminded me of a scene I always witness. It makes me feel comforted yet disturbed at the same time. I love it very much. I also love the voice acting. With how already damaging the familiar uncanny effect the dialogue has brought to me, the subtle tones really add more effect in delivering that final damaging blow, thus knocking me out successfully. And the endings? With how empty everything felt, absolutely devastating.
Thank you for making this game. I hope you the best.
Firstly, I want to give you a thank you. A bit odd to say, as someone whose experienced this same thing (not to dump, but I'd say 80% similar), it's sort of therapeutic. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but I've never seen someone put this interaction into words before. It made me really reflect and process my past a little bit more. Masterpiece of a game, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I hope you have a lovely day <3
this game is a wonderfully haunting mix of all too real, and scarily out of body. the act of watching someone go through something so horridly and deeply unsettling but also so familiar, whether as an inner dialogue or a mirrored experience, it leaves a hollow and burnt feeling in your stomach, endings giving you a sense of emptiness that feels so completely incomplete, exactly as many of these experiences are; they never end, they never resolve, they only cease momentarily, resigned to the fact they will begin once again, but when? the voice acting is both quiet and fatal, gripping your breath within your throat and leaving you wondering when it gets worse, when will they snap.
the art holds a simplistic beauty, it doesn't complicate or overwhelm the story to the point where it's cluttered or too much is happening, giving way to what truly matters: the pain every choice brings, whether passive or otherwise.
i give the game 10 very funky's and 10 very fresh's
You, oh good gamer, are truly funky fresh. Thank you so much 🤝
