Just wanted to say, loved this, I really am excited for the supposed update this summer. And I am utterly willing to pay money for a finished product of such quality.
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 š¤
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.
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!
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

hii! will u still update the demo or the rest would only be available when it's released?
the story refers to damin as a guy even though I chose a girl, and my mother calls me clover even though I chose a different name
will this be updated next year?:33
Is this still being worked on? I would love to play more of this, I loved it :)
The writing is done. Iām just working on it quietly, but all I can say is that AWWY is coming in the summer.

Thank you.
Thank you so much! This means a lot to me, AWWY is a personal project and it really means a lot to me.
You're very welcome. It's hard to velieve the subjtects/topics and care with which you portray them could br anything BUT personal. š
