Please Don't Understand Me

Love the esthetics and poetry. I saw that people missed the notification and tried to decifer the font, and I'm mixed about it, because I love deciphering stuff but the option changing font is a very creative idea I also love. Excellent game, tapped into feelings I only speak with a therapist, no notes

I love this

A very well-executed idea, for sure. I was intrigued by the phrase "There are no endings." and now I see what that meant. It's honestly a genius idea! Hits home, too.

This resonated with me more than I thought it would. As someone who speaks plainly but is often misunderstood, I definitely felt the way this was meant to make me feel. 

I sort of want to shove it into my friend's faces, like when you've finished a good book and go, 'here, play this'. 

thank you . I know I am personally going through a tough time at the time I am writing this. In fact I just used this visual novel to come down from a mental breakdown. I just hate my self at times. The only reason I have not committed suicide is because I know I am far more capable of the hard things then most people are. Give me a math problem I can solve it. Give me a request for a tool, a web site is coming up. Alas this does not carry over to the ”easy” things. I have not brushed my teeth in weeks. I have not showered this week. I have skipped meals. I am 6’2 and 127 pounds. I know I am killing myself unintentionally.

this is very creative, the sound is a good choice

I liked it.

ok I loved this game but my dyslexic ass thought it was just a weird font so I changed it from accessibility lol (i felt it tho)

neat

this was genuinely really good. the looping aspect works really really well considering the subject, and i love all of the dialog. it really made me feel seen. this is super fantastic, great job! <3

this is a very deeply thought game... it's like a puzzle but also a feeling you can relate to..

I wish that I had something meaningful to comment after finishing the game, but all I can say is thank you for making this.

we havent played the game yet, but it feels fitting to the title to say first (before 'understanding' its context to the game), that we wish to express our appreciation for the title. That sentence, entirely on its own, is striking and evocative in a way few things we've read are, especially in such a short format. Thank you for writing it, it feels like it's helped us, entirely indpedently from its relation to the game.

Not me translating the whole thing by hand instead of using the ingame legible font

I missed this when Neo-Twiny was still running, and I’m glad I get to this eventually. A beautiful concept, and I like how you turn a built-in feature into a narrative experience.

Genius and crearive way to make media like this

after I was done with it I geniunely had to stop and think

Love this :]

Really clever use of typeface and the option to change it

I actually started crying, I've never felt so seen by a game before. I feel like that daily, and more as I get older the more I feel less and less understood by my peers and my family. Sometimes all I want is to be heard even if I'm not "understood"

This is gorgeous and devastating. The imagery in your writing is so evocative. And the execution? So well-done! (And I like the effect of the letters drifting around.)

Honestly, this really resonated with me. Maybe it’s ironic, but reading/playing through this made me feel remarkably understood.

I dont understand. I feel you from a computer screen, This is what understanding has been reformed to.

This resonated with me so impossibly hard, as an autistic person. I have always thought that I could solve any problem, if I could just explain myself more, explain myself better, because I thought that other people just weren't understanding me. And if they understood me, then we could work out the problem.

It took me until I was an adult, and until years after my autism diagnosis, to realize that, no matter how much or how well I explained myself, nobody was ever going to understand me. No matter what way I whittled myself down.

This game feels like a take on the sort of despair and distress that comes with that sort of realization. Or, that's what it reminds me of.

This was a really interesting use of the 500 word limit in the jam! I strained so hard to try and make out the words at first... and then the next part happened! It works really well!
