sorry if this is silly but you have no idea of how emotional this game makes me - like... every update I end up crying rivers and rivers, and I mean this in the best way possible. I love it, your writing is touching and beautiful, and merry crisis is easily one of my favorite ifs/games in general ever.
I am queer, live in an small island and it's one of the most catholic places in the country, so mc and their experiences is so relatable that it hurts.. the family problems and the inability of letting go because they're your family regardless and you still love them. the looming fear of not being accepted and the undeniable truth that perhaps you will never be enough. of loving and hating the place where you live/lived, of not having a home but still feeling like you're a part of that place. The controversy and conflict in general.
And don't even get me started on qiu. Oh my freaking god, Qiu is just. One of the best characters ever?? I love all your characters, but he is just so special to me; perhaps because I can see both my present self and my past one in him, and his relationship with MC is just... the angst. the pain. it's amazing, really. I cry everytime, and I keep replaying this game almost religiously lol. The primal urge of every child to please their parents, regardless of how they are, the thing of taking people for granted just because they're so special that it's unfathomable the idea of you losing them, and god, losing people because of your parents or just because of the seemingly impossibility of losing them. Everything.
The settings are so good as well, you can easily picture the places and the mood, even if you know little to nothing about Singapore or NY.
Even the characters that aren't the main ones are incredibly fleshed out, and they feel like real people.
Sorry for the long ask that isn't even an ask, but I really wanted to say all of this. Thank you for this game, truly!
