Man... this one tapped into some self-destructive impulses I've felt when I was really low (in a good way). When you've been Extremely Online for a decade plus, you're gonna have some bad experiences with people that leave scars. It's very easy to start hedgehog's dilemma-ing after 'another' person you respected turned out to be a grifter, or someone that climbs the ladder and then pushes it down.
I don't know how much that resonates with the intended theming here, but it's what I thought of while playing it.
One of my all-time favourite games! I loved the subtlety and the character really resonated with me... I’m trans, still in the closet now (at least to my parents), and this game spoke to a lot of my insecurities, hopes, and sense of otherness... Thanks so much for this incredible game!
I don't have time to play multiple times and really understand what's going on, but not understanding has its charms too. An evocative experience that brought back some memories, thank you.

emberassed to admit it took me a bit to figure out what exactly something selected looked like but this was very great and evocative!
Emotional, vague in the textual way that something like Yume Nikki conveys through art. How much of this is the real author's pain?
