Boah fuck that last chapter was really tough, i new it from the first second we met Cece in the game that she will propably not heal. It was clear that this game wont be all butterflys and rainbows, but that ending was really hard to witness.
I have subscribed to your patreon for many months now (dont know exactly how many) and its so worth it (even if i cant afford much) And will be til the end, i so hope you will get more subs though... kinda disappointing to see that you only got ~650 subs so far... considred how many other DEVs have and they are not even close to your quality.
Hopefully you will not struggle to finish your game in a decent amount of time. You deserve so much more support, for real now, Leap of Faith is without a doubt easy under the Top 10 VNs, maybe Top 5. There are some top quality games out there in the making with thousands and thousands of subs, and you dont have anything to hide from them.
For me this game is very special cause i can relate to 100% with Cece, needless to say that i have my demons too cause of depression... like you discribed her daily struggle to just "buy food" could be just out of my life... its exactly like that. Most of the time i go empty handed home. And its just not possible to discribe this to others, even most of the therapists out there dont understand it one bit. Depression is called a public desease nowadays, but most people are just a little bit stressed and moody... not even close to an actual depression.
Nevermind, this is not the forum for talk like that.
My guess is, you just have life experience with these kind of things yourself, maybe a close friend or family member or even you? I have been in dark places like that, and known someone who couldnt escape those dark places anymore... Hopefully its just a "dark story" youre telling here and you dont struggle yourself like that.
Anyways, keep up the awesome work, every single Chapter was better than the one before, that is really awesome work you make here!
*edit* have to say, iam not very interested in social media things, so i did not read many postings on patreon, what matters to me is the progress of the game... so i didnt know you actually dealt with this yourself and that the game has many references to your life, but i read that thing just a second ago on your patreon page... good to hear you managed wiuth your family to get through this. And hopefully never has to deal with it ever agian.
