A World Without You

Is this still being worked on? I would love to play more of this, I loved it :)

As someone who can fiercely relate to the mc, medically screwed from birth and then some. I gotta say... this hits. I don't know if I love it or hate it yet lol. But i hope you keep working on it. 

Writing from a place of experience? Not firsthand, I hope. 

You hit the bullseye with the "so proud of you" out of the blue. Often family, and sometimes even my doctors, will bring whatever else is going on to say they are proud, or how brave and strong I am (to them), with so much going on. It never stops feeling weird because what others percieve as... those things are really just us sickly folk going through the motions. Sometimes for family's sake, less often for ourselves, we just learn how to be active, attentive patients, listen to our bodies, etc. There isn't really an alternative that isn't basically "die even faster". So responding to that sort of thing is... really hard most of the time. Although it's super-validating coming from like.. a surgeon who sees many other patients taking time to note how much it must be and all...

 And the ad-nauseam of the times when people ask if one is okay, nailed that. At times i will ask after someone, gasp at something or even just sigh and the big worries close to me jump in, alarm written on their face and in their voice, "what!?what is it/what's wrong!?" sometimes a sigh is just a sigh lol.

EDIT:

Oh god i wasnt even done with the... demo? The wanting to apologize part. That hits so ****ing real. MASSIVE guilt complex in my case, all the money we cost, being less (or not at all) able to contribute or be self-sufficient. The scares each new condition or procedure or brush with death gives everyone. I need to shut up now 🤐

Chronic fatigue, bleed troubles, rando as heck pains and fevers, every day a battle. It's an odd sortof comforting reading about something I can relate to. Feels less lonely knowing you, author-sama, or someone you know..knew? had close enough to the same ti be able to pen this so well. 

Thank you.

A steadily, beautifully developing book, with gorgeous illustrations. I throroughly enjoy the use of alternative perspectives throughout the story, not only for the characterisation that it provides but also for the clever use of it towards the end of the current build to make you curious about what happened, then switching to the POV of the characters that it happened to, as you watch it unfold. This is utter perfection in writing, I was stricken by just how much I became immersed in the character's shoes; and that's the result of impressive writing talent!

god this literally made me cry

I'm so excited for more!! 

They're all so sweet, Damin is so relatable??

I wanna keep going, and cry loads when the end come., what I'm even doing to myself?

Thanks for sharing this amazing world with us readers/players, this is just so perfect! It's a great job and i have no words to describe my feelings but yet here I am writing.

Gonna sob like a little kid if anything happens to my boys and their families 

I love it! Great job. The rewrite is wonderful and I'm excited for Chapter 3

do you have someone to read through and correct any mistakes? If not I think it would be a good idea to have someone other than yourself do that so as to see errors you might not have noticed. Great job so far

This is an amazing game, congratulations!
I would like to discuss with you the subject of localization to French for your game. Would you be interested?

There's a few times where genders aren't working and a few misshaps with a few sentences but other than that it's great

i love it so much! i love the feels i almost cried but i know once the full game release i will definitely cry.

Pain. Agony. Indescribable s u f f e r i n g. I’m not prepared for the ending-

Damn, this game made me dehydrated from my eyes. This game hurts to play but is beautiful at the same time. Excellent project. I just had one problem, every time that Damin pronouns shows it has a error like: $ro_gender and $Ro_them.

each replay is just as engaging and amazing as the last 

thank you for blessing us with this 😩

This is hurting me, the way the MC just accepting their illness and just...wait for the illness takes over their life, they gave up on life and just there waiting. This game is well done and can't wait for the full game :')

I JUST WANNA COMMENT THAT I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FULL GAME!

Anytime I replay this, It makes me sad in a good way! :D

I just finished reading this and i wanted to say that this was phenomenal!!! It kind of gives me Your Lie in April vibes and Damin is such a funny and sweet character. Awesome job and I can't wait to read the full story.

God, Its the final release for this demo and i know that the full game comes out next year(?) I genuinely am not ready for this sht. I avoid tragedy like the plague but am very magnetized to this story like a moth to a flame

also, is the full game pay-to-play sort of deal? (I dont mind paying anyways)

I like what I'm reading so far but, I feel that the writing. could be improved... I feel that some parts are worded a bit awkwardly but I'm not that good or proficient at grammar/English so maybe it could just be me lol. 

Also, I don't know if I missed anything but I believe that Damin had not personally introduced themselves yet or that we knew of their name anywhere before meeting them, but the text just casually mentions their name as if we already knew their name? 

Nevertheless I hope you don't take any offense to my comment, it's not my intentions to .. I really like what you have going here and I'm looking forward to the final product :)

Woah... this was both hard and great to read. Knowing the end is coming is sad but it makes it all the more beautiful the protagonist's process of learning to love and enjoy life and the time they have left.

also found a bug or some bugs with Damin's gender

Fuck I cant read this. This hurts me so much. Wish you good luck with the story but I hate how this makes me feel. :/

Being chronically ill myself I just couldn't help but cry so much relating to the protagonist's situation even when mine isn't terminal

It was amazing. I have never cried so much (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠)

I think I found an error while playing just wanted to let you know 👀

Each update makes me cry. Jaune you are so cruel.😭😭😭😭😭😭

Woah! This is amazing. I was actually gonna cry just in the introduction because of the music.. 

Have you ever played Persona 3?

The main theme of the game is death, how people cope with the loss of loved ones and how it makes life much precious.

One of the Social Links in the game (The Sun) is about a young man dying from a terminal disease. It is my favorite social link from the series and always makes me cry, so i'll probably cry at this story too, can't wait to see more.

Also, i think the household would really benefit from having a pet at some point

You best believe I will be sobbing vehemently when this story finally concludes,,,,,,,,,,,

im crying haha (im in love with this story, if is not much bother, can I ask your schedule of updates?? I will waiting for the future chapters!! PS: The cliffhanger of chapter 2 lol I cant wait)

Thank you for your hard work!

Excellent chapter!

Her mouth reminds you of Seven-Eleven, they never seem to close.

as someone from Indonesia, this jokes makes me laugh harder than it should.

T-T this is so sad and relatable at the same time...

Beautiful and you almost make me cry (again), despite few mistake of typing or grammar I'm still enjoy this.
And here the error i found while I played as a boy but the game said otherwise 

The subject matter of this story is, to put it lightly, very difficult for me. I'm hoping, by continually pushing myself through it, I'll be able to handle the idea better, of death in general. Other similar stuff, too, but obviously that's not the focus of this.

This'll sound dumb but I hope it *doesn't* have some nice happy ending, as much as I need it. Just from what's here, I feel like it would negate the themes and messages of it.

Sorry for this kinda rambling totally devoid of content comment. Just, I'm hoping this story will be able to help me and some sources of my depression and awful moods, and I wanted to say something about it since I think this story is decidedly unique, at least in the realm of IF.

very nice :] , though there are a few mistakes in the writing and grammar

Ughh the cliffhanger! 😭😭🙏💕
