I loved the subversion of the assumption that all these text based / twine games are supposed to be in first person. Great work.

it's just cycles, looping and returning and recovering and restarting. the structure of this story is so strong. thank you.

I like the way the story frames the reader as voyeuristic, or perhaps the narrator as exhibitionist for sharing it. It forces me to think about why we share stories and why we read them. There is protection through anonymity when sharing something personal online, their reactions can’t mean as much as the people in your life. But it’s not without any vulnerability, when sharing with strangers you have no idea what they will do with the story you give them, whether they will respect it or listen at all. The hostility of the narrator can feel uncomfortable, but it’s appropriate. Why **would **you want to read this, why would you want write it? Because there is a need to share, to write, to read. So thanks for sharing.

Incredibly well done, but that's about all I can say— out of respect. I feel like it would be offensive to say that I enjoyed this.

I do not know, how to interpret this piece of work exactly, but have my deepest respect in the way it interacted with me.

Thanks for sharing this game. Is cathartic in a way reading about other's people's journeys. Similar yet different. I really appreciated the style, feels very raw and honest.

A genuinely witty game from start to finish. The use of trigger warnings to frame the story’s self-aware and voyeuristic tone is so clever. Might be the “funniest” story on eating disorders I’ve ever read.
