please please don't shorten this vn, it means a lot to me .
Hearing that this game has been shortened is quite painful for me. I will not go into much detail, except to say I experienced something very similar to the little half sister, the fact she couldn't talk (I couldn't either for nearly 3 years due to being severally traumatized when I was younger. Everyone ostracized me, which also had an bad effect on me, which I never cared about, never thought about much apart from the same things going on around in my mind), running away, suffering from mental illness, and being traumatized by certain events so bad that it took years for me to come to terms with, except I am still coming to terms with, so when I say I can fully understand the little sister, and how true to life it hit home with me and all the silent suffering day to day. Only in recent years have I learned to understand how to be empathic, to have empathy, to care about others, despite the cruelty I faced. Loosing this game to a cut down version , despite it only being make believe, the writer probably doesn't even realize how close to home in real life this game may have affected other girls and women or even some boys, not in a bad way, but drawing attention to some things people may never have seen or experienced and i'd never want anyone to experienced what I have, so to have this unique connection with a made up character, with very much irl issues that I have and still trying to come to terms with, made me cry because of how so close to reality the problems the little sister had (i am not talking incest, that might be okay for fantasy in games similar to this, and to that each their own, not kink shaming because that is just so wrong and hurtful to people) but in a way I was also happy, because the author brought to life something that no one had previously, and how close to home he hit. cut short is still very very sad, best wishes to the developer, you have helped me without even knowing it, thank you for this game! best wishes and take care.
