i'm not sure if i have OCD, but every day when i drive home from work there are two instances in which i am convinced i see a person on the side of the road when i drive by. it's the same spot every day, and there's never been anyone there... but i think about it.
your game brilliantly captures a burst of adrenaline and anxiety, one so strong i can feel it in my throat. the mood is immediately enhanced because of your formatting as a journal. i love the drawings and pictures. thank you for sharing. :)
