Yeah, I have the main theme of DD set as one of my ringtones. Nice and atmospheric. There are so many people here, in the comment section - and following your works, in general. So it would probably be impossible to answer all of them, at some point. But hey, it's not a bad thing, as long as more people come here to appreshiate your works! We'll still be supporting you from the sidelines (੭ˊᵕˋ)੭

My personal favourite has to be the Hide&Seek ending - the scenario of bodily posession is rare to find in similar yandere-vibe projects. It fills this obscure niche I didn't know I've been interested in exploring more, even in my own writing. This is like a breath of fresh air for my understimulated imagination. I've fallen victim to hyperfocus when working on my manuscripts as well, so I can fully understand where you're coming from, making a separate Director's Cut version XD. Good luck with your other projects!

P.S. the music box is full of bangers, as always <3

As someone who lives inside the holowness of these weeping gray buildings, I feel comforted. I sometimes wish I wasn't there to experience growing up here. Every day all I can hear is-

'The broken ark floats from the bottom 

 And we shall live forever, and we shall sail forever 

 Look for happiness where even 

 the Icons of terrible five-story buildings cry'

It's been a while. Hold on tight, just as you've been doing for so long, I'm so proud of you. And I'm sure there's no shortage of people who share the sentiment. Just look at this comment section :D

In my experience? I've felt helpless, unable to do anything but wait until help is 'available'(honestly, damn the busy-busy circumstances). In the past two years, have had to wait on an appointment with my therapist far too many times. Really, it's extremely exhausting mentally. Somewhat akeen to how a fly might feel, helpless, as it awaits for it's only chance to free itself - when the spider finally decides to end it's misery.(actually, that's kinda depressing, oooof). 

But anyways, eventually, I've kinda grown tired of it all. And later, have slowly eased myself into browsing the net on related information while waiting on it. 'Might as well create a list of questions which worry me the most, give a name to the topic, I'd like to discuss' is what I thought. And it.. kinda helped, actually!

It's like self-support, in a way. To organize, analyze and form a concise opinion on your feeling(, or decide you don't need one at all!). Like a healthier way of introspection(?). One that doesn't make me spiral, unlike thinking about #the_good_times does, y'kno?

I should also share that there is usually a lot of alternative events/opportunities that are hard to find if you're searching for something really specific. But if you start from a general topic, there might be a good chance you might find something in your area or other, sometimes - a really short event but exactly on the topic you need! To fill the time of wait and catch rare-time events. 

I'm rooting for ya, fellow potat. Just gotta take care of yourself first place, and if it's possible(even if you have to be inconsiderate of others for it), satisfy your needs right away. All you can grab is your for the taking, a metaphorical phantom thief!    

Yay! I've finally got my mental state stable enough to open the Unity. And goddamn, saving game states is so much easier here than what I've had been resorting to before >_< . But hey! xml serializer is probably a very valued tool somewhere.. Also, auto window size adjustment to screen settings! I feel like I've been living in ice age or something, with all the new preprogrammed tools, but it's so much easier than writing dry code (: _ :). Plus, I can repurpose most of what I've programmed in VisualStudio. My life is complete. (づ ◕‿◕ )づ

And thank you for answering my comment. It has helped a lot, just that I was able to glance it in my inbox a couple of times, while browsing here and such. As a reminder of sorts.

Uncooperative relatives sure are a trend these days. I sometimes bristle at  how condescending and patronising they can be when you're trying to make an effort to be understood.  Mine, 50+ year old mother obviously notwithstanding. Old dogs can learn some tricks but not all. Then, you have to decide whether it's worth it keeping them nearby. (Or, at least at apartment's door length, for me. It's hard, and I'm at times like jello)

From my experience, it's certainly worthwhile to try new ways in which you can change your routine. A 'just do it' analogy, funny enough, really is applicable here. I myself have decided to just go to whatever social events(free ones, cause I'm hella broke) in my city, unless I'm sick. It's nice to meet new people, kinda lifts off the atmosphere that otherwise hangs over your usual life.

Each time I feel better for it, I'm surprised once again. Even If I have to do it week after week, seeing as my attention span makes these fresh revelations fade a bit. 

You know, doing the dishes after every meal is kinda gratifying. No, really, the feeling of accomplishment just slides into place. So weird (⁀ᗢ⁀).

I guess, I'm one of the more or less functioning people out there(at least in my extremely sad territorial area). Yet, I was forced to take the rest of the year off. By my college administration. Cause 'we aren't equipped to deal with you' , even though they have accomodations for _physically_ disabled people. But really, It's cause I've got a scholarship when I've enrolled there, 3 years ago. They don't do this sort of thing to people who pay tuition fees. Those would get a slap on the wrist and that's it. But a free budget place is too succulent of a thing to not kick me in the arse. Well, repeating a year ain't that bad. But f*ck them.

Glad you've notified your therapist. Food is good. Food is nice. A delicious treat has never run amiss (.❛ ᴗ ❛.) (Lemon tart... my beloved  ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡)

Aww... I'm glad you're feeling better. I myself have been procrastinating on writing a script of sorts... for a couple of months or so. 5 more alternative routes to go. Need to redo the UI in Unity, has been using Visual Studio for my projects so far... Gonna keep myself afloat. This update from you has already helped a bit. As they say, 頑張れ !

Oh, the whole situation is very understandable. Most people who don't have depression can't grasp the concept of it following you in life, as something that requires adapting your daily life to(I've lately come to the realization that the social system, even public layouts, are designed FOR people who are not neurodivergent). It is important to find what routine modifications work for you personally. It took me almost 5 years to somewhat accept depressive moods as a valid part of my life and adapt so they do fit into my rhythm. It's less of a fight for me and more of finding ways to work alongside my behaviors. Just doing things a bit different than other people but managing to gain from life exactly what I want.

I'd recommend adapting your near surroundings for what differences your own 'brand' of anxiety and depression makes to it. Like this(and that one has helped me greatly): 

if empty food wrappers keep piling up on a desk or just someplace - place a tray/bucket/bin there; if you keep piling up laundry on a chair - a container of sorts there also helps; assess how much energy you feel at the start of the day and, liking it to coins, decide how many you have. and each time you feel like you've exerted said energy, mentally lessen the count by how much it took out of you to do it. when you have no coins left, it means you've done all you could today.

I don't know much about medications but definitely tell your therapist if the medication doesn't suit you. For me personally, Zoloft has worked alright so far. Might not wanna get any meds with ingredients imported from India. I've tried Sertrolin once and it had the same effect as straight up sedatives. A nasty thing, that one.

With that in mind, I've been taken with your work quite a bit. Haven't found anything like it in a while. Your stories have that delightfully realistic edge to them. It's positively ravishing ;)
