Hi! Thanks for your feedback. To be honest, I'm fairly surprised this "game" has been receiving this amount of attention at all. It was really a spur-of-the-moment thingy I made while developing something else, and it's definitely nothing groundbreaking or thought-provoking to the likes of The Stanley Parable, Undertale, or The Beginner's Guide — I think it's made abundantly clear even in-game.

It is what it is. It was a fun project to make for as long as it lasted, and that's about it for me. There's no deeper meaning™, as far as I'm concerned, which doesn't and won't stop people from theorizing what could the game have been like. And that's fine. I'm already moving onto different projects and ideas for games.

It's still very nice and humbling to read all these comments, anyway, so thank you for stopping by.

It's not so much I was expecting ground-breaking 2deep4u meaning (really those games you mentioned are not what I consider even minimalist), but the moment you added the cheeky NPC dialogue, the author-to-viewer message at the end, and the secrets slightly contradicting the premise. You get users like me or ebunchikus looking into those elements as if there's some kind of commentary to read into (however basic it may be). Had you actually made an AtoB game where nothing extra happened, I would buy that yeah okay overthinking would be silly.

But idk, take those thoughts as they are I guess. I don't think anything is below or above discussion, games can be an interesting ice breaker no matter how small.

Yeah I don't think the game needs to be "fixed" or changed or anything. I'm not saying "you should have done this". Just mentioning that the extras had a cause and effect of inviting people to find more than there is, intentional or not. Just explaining why someone would have a curious reaction.
