i made an itch.io account just to comment on this. this brought me to tears the second i saw the result because it's atrociously and uncomfortably true. sweet, but aloof explains me in 3 words i never knew would hit home so much. i'm a big lover, i have a heart full of affection for those around me, especially my romantic partners, but i struggle opening up to them a lot of the time. how do i tell them i used to get bullied and abused? how do i tell them they mean the world to me without crying? how do i pour all of my love into them without cringing myself out and ruining it. i'm good with gifts and words on paper but aloud i'm like a broken voice box, trying to say the right things and only managing to screw up. i could be thinking too hard about it, but that's what i do. i write. thank you for this
This is exactly how I had treated my ex girlfriend in our relationship, as the player. I was young, and before we started dating I even knew I wasn’t sure if what I had for her was love or a deep appreciation for her company. I liked the idea of being loved, but it was only two months in when I realized that we didn’t truly have much in common, and that we clashed too much. I wondered how she felt when I told her that I wasn’t going to be enough for her. I wondered how long it would take for her to forget me. Playing this game felt like closure, for being able to see her side. I gave her objects of my love, but I myself never felt it like I thought I did. I am forever sorry for her. I had never had anything close to a romantic relationship, and as a result of my doubts and confusion it hurt her. Thank you for making this game. Thank you so so so much.
god that spooked me cause i was just answering normally and this thing started to treat me like a lover (ive never been in a relationship my whole life and im not planning to so uh imagine my surprise), anyways it was fun.. as someone else said idk if theres other endings here but i got "sweet but aloof" too, nice game btw.
I got sweet but aloof, I don't think any of the choices matter much though. The prompts are always sad, theres no good outcome (though I guess thats just how it is with most relationships). It's more of a story and a poem, don't take the result personally. Love can't be described with words or found out with questions.
I chose all the answers I knew were best, it made me choose what gifts to buy for a lover, it never gave me the choice to tell them I loved them. At the end it told me I was "afraid of saying I love you", I was never given the choice to.
I liked the story it was telling though, good game! I reccomend it :^)
the ending of this -- the "lover type" -- was a mix of my ex fiancee and i's styles of things. I gave her proof that i loved her but it was never The Final Proof Of Love (tm) that she wanted. I know from people that I blame myself, still, more for the way things ended than she ever has. really strong. really good.
i don't usually comment but i gotta lyk that i ABSOLUTELY love hate every words written in this test. it feels like it just uncovered a part of myself that i never wanted to acknowledge, i could say more but this is a public comment LMAO. either way, thank you for making this game, you did well, author 💝.
I feel really called out. I may not have much experience or exes to relate to regards the story, but thr description sure fits. It's a bit rough facing that so bluntly but I feel like I'm going to keep it in mind and maybe actually try to open up more and to let myself be vulnerable if I ever find someone. Won't be easy hah but oh well
I don't know what I expected. The story didn't relate to me that much, but the ending... that was rough. I got called out hard. 10/10 would spiral again
it wasn't really sad to me, maybe just a little. the description was definitely accurate, I just can't trust anyone enough to say I love you or do something first, and that hurts us both
Well that shit just described my relationship with my partner they have an avoidant attachment style and I’m honestly sometime not sure if I I know them as well as I think I do. And then I honest,y don’t know what’s wrong with me lol so whatever

I love a good bait and switch.
I've never felt so called out
the date question especially. very good game.

This made me cry I'm still not over my ex
Did I feel called out? Maybe. Definitely needed it.
Thank you for the beautiful game.
I got sweet but aloof
I don't know what aloof means, but I agree with the description it provided
I don't know what I expected. The story didn't relate to me that much, but the ending... that was rough. I got called out hard. 10/10 would spiral again
didn't have to call me out like that
it wasn't really sad to me, maybe just a little. the description was definitely accurate, I just can't trust anyone enough to say I love you or do something first, and that hurts us both
It felt like a bullet to the heart, it was so beautiful but so painful to read.
I feel sad after that like it was correct but now i feel like a bad person.
