content warnings: this game discusses grief, memory issues, dealing with past trauma, attempts to "perfect" the self, the process of recovery in a general sense, and anger tied to processing trauma. it references past gaslighting and manipulation, and includes what may be interpreted as some references to past abuse, mostly by way of discussing apologies and forgiveness. also contains one reference to cauterizing wounds. while the game is not about eating disorders, there is discussion of trying to achieve a "perfect version" of oneself that is, for me at least, inherently related to the topic.

as always with games i make like this, these are really personal topics and if anything in the game doesn't ring true to you, that's super fair! just take what you want from it.

use wasd or arrow keys.
