This was a beautiful game that really captures so many different feelings in one. As someone who grew up with poor mandarin, I truly relate so much in the depiction of the second language / bilingual fear and anxiety that came with it. I also think that the story with the grandma is written with so much grace and with so much love that I truly loved every second and felt incredibly immersed in the moments. I love it so much!! <3
Thank you for this. Though it's a different language for me, it's incredibly relatable; being unable to talk to one half of your family is painful. The small touches--just saying no, words being an absolute jumble, flashing text of the heartbeat--really helped to sell the experience.
In my case, it's terminal illness, and the drawn-out-ness of that, but the thought of this happening....ow.
