Lethophobia

Gul al-Ahlaam:

Thank you so much for the hint! I’ve just finished the game, and it had as wonderful an ending as I had hoped. I will definitely be playing it at least two more times. I said something to this effect in my previous post but this is the sort of ghost story I absolutely adore: dreamy, dusty, soft and grey, full of fairy-tale creatures and uncanny nostalgia. And most importantly, it made me feel things I hadn’t expected: affection and longing and regret for childhood memories I hadn’t thought about in a long time. I have never been accused of sentimentality, but somehow this game evoked in me a combination of emotions I had never felt before in my life, manifesting as a (frankly perilous) desire to send my childhood piano teacher a rambling apologetic letter. Lethophobia holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for making it. <3[li]

I am so happy right now. :) :) :) (I’ve passed this onto my co-author.)[/li]
