ALSO if there's any trigger warnings I forgot to add feel free to tell me!! Kissing your organs <3

I can't share what the SA victims feel, I feel like I would be insulting them trying to understand it, I don't know what I can do or say about it, what should be the right thing to do, but I think instead of thinking the right thing to do, I will tell the truth. At first I felt confused, and I think if it wasn't for knowing a little bit about the creator as his followers know him and his experience, I wouldn't understand the narrative at all. I can say that it broke my heart, because it is not only a story, it is a reality that may have happened to many people, the reminder makes my fury ignite and makes me want to eliminate all those who cause an event that should never have happened, I'm sorry, I feel so much indignation and although I know that The Driver is a character or the representation of something, anyway it leads me to hate him and a strong desire to do great harm to those who commit these heinous acts, I hate it so much, so much that makes me cry with frustration. I don't know if it's right, I'm sure the victims have felt everything and worse, but I can't help it, I can't help putting myself in their shoes and at least think about what they could have suffered, or at least think about if any victim would be someone close to me. I know that hate does not solve the possible internal conflict that the victims may have, maybe I am writing this with a hot head, but even if it does not solve anything, even if I do not change something with my words, I want to let the victims know that there is someone crying for you, someone who is outraged for you, someone who hates, someone who is frustrated, someone who wants to fight, because I know that after all you are human, human like me and the rest of the world and that nothing will take away your humanity and value for anything that a sicko who does not deserve to exist does. As a human, I love you, even though I don't know you. Excellent work 11/10
Hey! I just wanted to comment and say how this game resonated with me as a victim. Art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. I don't know how or why, but I found myself crying. Some people are hesitant to speak out about this, and I appreciate how vulnerable you were with this game. Every single thing I resonated with deeply, and perhaps this will be my first step towards healing, thanks to you. I am also tired of this vicious cycle I keep myself in only because it's all I know and keeps me comfortable. I will listen to my core, whatever that means, I am willing to find out!
I also enjoyed the art of this game and the character The Driver!
ONE DAY I WILL BUY THIS GAME, FOR NOW NOT BECAUSE I'M POOR BUT ONE DAY I WILL ACHIEVE IT 🙏🙏
¿El link esta caído? Intente hacer la compra varias veces pero no me llega ni al correo, ni aparece en mis compras. Realmente me llamo la atención.
Sorry to ask, is there any other way to pay for the game? I'm from Russia, and I'm having difficulty paying:(
у автора есть бусти, ник тот же, что и здесь
I don't know why people don't understand the meaning of these dialogues in game. Well, maybe it's just me, who likes to think about such stuff, but it's quite clear for me, what you wanted to represent. I was never the victim of the AS(i think), and i'm glad you're better after such a horrible experience. This game represented all the problems really clearly, hope it'll never happen again.
Dear developer!
Are you perhaps german?
Alguien sabe como comprarlo?, ya metí mi tarjeta 4 veces y no me da ningún enlace de descarga o algo, ni sale en mis compras...
Same
I did not understand this game at all, but I recognize that people who went through a certain type of trauma are the only ones who probably will. So I was very confused while playing but I understand I just don't get it because I haven't lived that certain experience.
I went in not knowing what to expect, but this honestly really spoke to me. Like, REALLY spoke to me. I was gonna say "oh I wish there was more than 30 minutes of content" but no, this gave me closure???
Good afternoon dear! I bought your game on busti for 80 rubles, and I want to write to you that your new project is just wonderful! I am your literal fan from Russia, and despite my 15 years old age, I really wanted to support you and send at least some kind of support in the form of money. I read your posts on some social networks and realized that most likely you once had big problems that caused you to disappear for several weeks or even months! I really hope that at least these 80 rubles ($1 in your currency) will make you at least a little happier if you had a bad day💋.I really hope that you will notice me. (I apologize very much if there are any errors in the translation. 😭😭)
this game is NOT for minors oh my god
Oh my God, how do I live now?
Agreeing is mennheraa here, this game NOT for minors, please delete this 😭.
At the very least silently support and do not interact with the community!
Thank you for sharing your opinion, but I already realized that I shouldn't support this author. Don't worry, I still have support authors like Yatsunagi San. Come to platform X and maybe you'll meet me there) 💋
Oh my gosh I love the cycle motif so much and really enjoy it. I'm not very good at English but the game really conveys a lot of emotions to me, as if I'm questioning myself ^^ Anyway, I always love your games, wish you good health and success on your future path!
Send love to you ❤!
this game is horrible the only good thing abuot it is the d-d-d-driver.. blushes cutely as i run away with a suspiciously driver shaped blob in my mouth

why this lowkey deep km$
suprised no one had posted it yet... anyways, the game looks pretty cool, nice job dev c:
ph my go..d..... the driver real.........life.......!!
playing this feels like im taking drugs but the good end is so so comforting!! thank you for the game
Hello, I'm getting an error. It is 'exception: could not find font 'Mom<<t__.ttf'
I found this font file in the game folder, which I installed, but I still get the error.
The file shows up as "Momョt___.ttf" in the folder.
Thanks for any help with this :)
This happened to me too. Rename the font to "Mom«t__.ttf" (it's a symbol) to quickly correct it.
Wow! Thank you so much, this fixed it :)
My favorite dev posted a new game..... I'm going feral! ❤️
Not my cup of tea, BUT I LOVE ALL THE WORK YOU MAKE REGARDLESS!
I thought the warnings were a little too vulnerable, but no, this is quite literally a game about parsing these emotions and desires and using a very tightly defined allegory for that process. It is an innately vulnerable
game! A big surprise, considering the shitpost and comedy slant of other works, but a pleasant one.
hell yeah new headlocker game, excited to play 😝😝
absolutely cinema 🤚😐🤚
I never thought the Good Ending was... Gonna have that. Pretend I've inserted 'ABSOLUTE CINEMA' image here. I'm a survivor of CSA so that really.. resonated. A lot. :) Excited to play more! Thank you for sharing <3
i wish i could see reviews,, ive been a headlocker fan for a little while n im SO tempted to buy this, but i usually need some sort of recommendation before playing something, lmao. if youve already played it pleaseeee tell me ur thoughts on it :pray:
I played through it, it's short and sweet. I personally think it's worth the money, it's moreso thought-provoking internal monologue with some conversations with the Driver. I really enjoyed it, but it's not a 'full-length' goal (get monster to leave room) type of game like Monster x Mediator was. One of the endings really resonated with me, so I would recommend it. :) [edit: forgot to add that I am a squeamish horror lover, this wasn't too bad for me. it was kinda endearing for one ending LOL]
thank you!
is there a MC in this? if so what's their gender? i know that the game have AFAB anatomy bc of the warnings but i just want to make sure.
English isn't my first language and I may have missed something, but we are definitely AFAB. However, I didn't notice the use of "she" pronouns (we don't have a choice of pronouns). So if you feel more comfortable with another gender, you can look at it as if mc were a pre-transitioning trans guy/non-binary person (or other, nothing restricts you). But be warned that the illustrations show intimate areas.
currently sobbing from the good ending. I experienced SA as a child and seeing how someone processes it with art and writing made me tear up. this was beautiful and i know some people might not fully understand but i feel for you because i too know how it feels (obviously not exactly your feelings, but similar) thank you for sharing your art with us :,)
This is the first game I've bought on Itch.io, and I'm so happy it's one of YOUR games. I already know what this month's obsession will be💖
I already know what my impulse buy of the month will be... 😗
