I would like to preface that I only really look at porn games as porn to fap to and not read into stories - but I try to read beginning usually to get a grasp whether I will just skip majority of text if not just use mods to unlock galleries. I knew of Summer's Gone and the fact it was a majority story game turned me off, as I just wanted to coom. I now encountered this gem based off screenshots while not being aware it being made by same dev, and as usual I started reading.
I am a lurker, I have never posted a single comment on this site before, but I felt like I wanted to share with Ocean, if they are reading these forums at all, that I really felt an early story moment personally to my deepest core.
The part where Miru consoles William and tells him he's not a bitch, that it doesn't matter what other people who aren't even in your life think or say, and the part that really hit me being "We all deal with our demons at our own pace... and way" with Late Kids playing in the background, and the scene composition being so integral - how she plays with his ring necklace freely without him minding or even paying attention to it at all but her and what she's saying - signifying how close they are. The scene composition made me immersed, but the quote is what set me aback and made me re-read it over and over again, it just hit me hard because it was nearly word for word what I told my friend a year prior to his suicide, and because of that, I could instantly tell that Ocean is someone who really knows such feelings whether they experienced them in one way or another. Or they are just a pretty good writer.
Either way, I don't care if it could be a generic feely story moment - it made me feel too and I want to give Ocean credit for showing healthy trustful relationship, at least at this point in the story.
I will definitely check out Summer's Gone later on. Thank you Ocean, whether you read these or not. Keep on keeping on.
