Interesting... I can't just not describe how significant this game was and how much it showed the beauty and horror combined in the same environment, where the end is nothing but a reality curtain being shown to the player. For those who were confused by the text and overall theme for the game, it's about surrogacy and it's done quite well, in a way that is subtle, yet towards the end very direct.
To be fair, this is not the discussion to be held on the page, where mostly kids are trying to play games, download fun horror and beginner developers to start their portfolio, but, the project is ambitious. Personally, I've made a game about postnatal depression, called "Envy" and not many people got the idea behind that. Simple speaking - big words sometimes grab less attention.
Now, for the critique of this, I had no issues at all, the performance, game logic, sound design, everything had the perfect tone for this horrific piece of sad, eerie narration. For the most part, we can talk a lot about social issues, injustice towards the surrogacy and many nitpicking, yet, we are not ones to decide in my opinion. Speaking from a professional standpoint, I've seen couple of stories like this unfold in front of my eyes and it's unimaginable how much can a person take or what is the cost of our materialistic, shallow world. It's tragic, mostly.
Looking forward to seeing more from you, especially, I would recommend to tackle less grounded and more fictional ideas, like psychological horror and etc. This was unique, strange and twisted. All I have to say.
