Thank you so much for your lovely comment!  Sorry for not responding earlier.

There are more weirdcore and dreamcore games on this site that you should absolutely check out if you haven't already.  I really enjoyed playing Eurydice--it's a very short VN with two endings.

I'm really glad you liked the story.  One of my goals when writing it was to make sure that it didn't come off as preachy, which is an easy trap to fall into, so I decided that when the player asks the adults for help, the adults should give them real answers, answers that they believe in, not watered down answers because they're "just a child."  

There's something really beautiful about good endings.  There's this sense to me that friendship is eternal.  The story may end, but the relationships continue.

I also struggle with mental health.  In fact, it has just occurred to me that I have had mental health problems for longer than not.  I am glad that this game was a comfort to you.

I'm so glad you liked it!  Thank you for commenting!

AAAHHHH, thank you so much!  I really enjoyed watching your playthrough! Concerning the rejected names, I think the game kept rejecting the shorter names because the conditional statement was only looking at the letters of your names in order, so it rejected the shorter versions of your name while accepting the longer ones, if that makes sense.

I liked listening to your different theories about what was really going on.  I might explain my own interpretation of it in a devlog later, but it might be more fun to let everyone have their own interpretations of it.  For me, the reason why there is no explanation in-game is because I've discovered that some of the eeriest experiences I've had in gaming have been from games that never explained the mystery in full.  The game just drops you in the middle and expects you to find your way on your own.  That's what I wanted to do with this game.  Which version of the apocalypse is the true one?  How much does everyone remember from their past lives?  Where is Echo?  That's never explained, so you have to find your own way through.  

Again, thanks so much!

My favorite kind of fuel.

You have no idea how excited I was when I saw that someone made a video out of my strange game!  Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I went with a child's perspective for this for two reasons. One, weirdcore and dreamcore rely heavily on nostalgic and childish imagery. Two, I felt like telling the story from a child's point of view would let the player take the apocalypse for granted.  As in, of course the world is ending today, of course we will celebrate it.  What else would we do for the apocalypse?

Once again, thanks so much!
