this made me feel things. i knew it, i knew it, i knew that the MC was gay just from the dialogue about marriage and Jess, and generally everything else. it's just something we experience all the time. it's hard to describe. there's like a wall, but softer. a soft barrier.
this was just so... just so... augh. i don't know!! a lot!! but also. calm. a little. but also, a lot!! how am i supposed to put a feeling into words?
i like that this was in a car. such a classic place to come out. loved this a lot. art is superb, writing is superb, game is superb.
This concept can take lots of forms, but the way this was executed is quite brilliant, from the forcefulness of the dialogue options to go a certain route, to the fact you can change the radio, to even the awkward silence that appeared every now and then, it all adds up so nicely. I loved the game and the theme it tackles.
I'm not good with words but to put it simply the game set the mood very nicely! I could really feel the awkward tension just based on the long silences and the dialog without it feeling forced. Great job! Hope you make more stuff like this, or write more dialog for something!
the conversation was very realistic throughout the entire game! when you play this game, it feels as if you're having a conversation with your father about...you know, difficulties that everyone goes through like loneliness, anxiety, and so on. thanks for the experience, i enjoyed the game till the very end. <3
i think part of the reason this game hurt to play was because of how much i relate to the mc and how real the conversation felt. it feels like an experience we all go through one way or another and i loved it.
A well done visual novel. I was used to have similar conversations with my mother. What a pity that we can't see father and son, just their seats. I would be interested in how they look like and how their faces change their expressions depending on the topic, the questions, and the answers.
Nice game, I enjoyed the limited interaction and just like in real life I was station surfing.
Couldn't relate to this as a son much but could as a dad, it seems hard to communicate with your kids sometimes. If I was in the dads shoes I think I would be immensely relieved at the end of this car trip.
I can relate to this because it reminds me of the talks me and my parents had. Some parts hit really close to home. However, I'm a girl but I'm still queer. When I try to explain what LGBTQ+ is and the different terms, they almost immediately shut down what I'm saying. Or just denies it exists. :(
I really related to this game too for the exact same reason. I'm so sorry you have to deal with it, I hope things get better for you. Happy pride month <3
Ouch...There were many parts were I had to stop for a moment cause they reminded me of some of the talks I had with my parents. Thank you so much for making this game, it's beautifully done <3
I just broke down playing this game. I don't necessarily have a problem with my parents, and I do try to constantly text them; but near the end, I completely broke down, especially with the last selection. I could never do that.
Oh man, this game gave me flashbacks to my own past...
Although I'm not the same ethnicity as the protagonist, it's surreal to relive some of the exact same dialogue--in the exact same tone--that I've said to my own immigrant parents when it came to school, mental health, & sexuality/gender identity.
Dealing with a language barrier and a cultural/education-level gap is a pain when trying to explain/defend things that matter a lot to you.
It's both a blessing and a curse that somebody can love you so much, but still not completely understand/accept you. But in turn, you still love them anyway even though you can't completely understand them at times.
Now, I've learnt respect my parents' limits/circumstances (eg. lack of education) while still standing up for myself as needed; and, to find others who can understand those aspects of me that I cherish.
But yeah, thanks for making this game - it was pretty cathartic. Hope you make more psychological/thoughtful games like these!
Loved it so much! The artstyle and the dialogues were very realistic! Totally related to it. Literally answered "or husband" when the dad asked if we'd get a wife haha. I wish you the best, you deserve it <3
OMG MY GAYDAR WAS SCREAMING BECAUSE OF MY CHARACTER, AND WHEN THE DAD BROUGHT UP ME HAVING A WIFE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "Or a husband" AND AAAAAA I LOVE THIS IT DESCRIBES ME BECAUSE I'M BI AND TRANSMASC

i feel exposed about this game :/
okay now i'm crying lmao
even though we were in the same house my father and I barely talked... haha *sweating intensely*
"Dad?" "I'm gay."
ive been cracking at this for 5 minutes
"y'know it doesn't hurt to check the family chat now and then"
me: *nervous sweating*
this rly hit home when I also came out during a road trip to my parents. excellent game.
While I was playing the game and they started talking about mature content I was like "I'm gay aren't I"

Beautiful work! It really touched me, picked the options of what I would say to my dad if I was in this situation, made the game amazing. :)
thanks! glad you enjoyed :)
