I like this game :)
Iku's part just spoke to me. So much. The discovery. The pain, yet the happiness that comes with it. If I spoke more about this, I'd be speaking forever. I'm just glad that he's finally comfortable (in the game, that is).
The music is INSANELY good, but I didn't realise it was because THE Wookywok made the music. The Iku theme remix literally shocked the hell out of me. Great job Wookywok.
The story itself really made me smile super hard. I was smiling the entire time. Chiyo and Rusty are also a REALLY great duo and I hope I get to see more of them someday.
Great work, everyone on the team!
I made an account just to comment this, I have played only the Iku chapter so far but what can I say, It warms my heart. Seeing a comfort character in such a situation, questioning himself makes me feel understood, somehow.
Everything about it is splendid, It's sweet, It's a moment of discovery, It's an interesting exploration of Iku's "messenger" role, and for someone who has been obsessed with the character for over five years, This has been one of, if not my favorite interpretation of Iku as a character, his struggles, his lack of identity. It's just, I don't know, It makes my heart warm.
And it really feels close home, something so personal like being transgender, associated with my favorite character of all media, It's just something that feels comforting, like a "I understand how you feel." No matter how much words I write, I can't thank enough everyone involved in this.
I don't check the game jams that often, but It was a blessing being able to see this. I truly wish you the best, to all of you,
