I'm sorry.  I kept reading the title as 'Affliction!'  It wasn't until I looked at your other games, I kept thinking "but where's affliction?" before realising.  I still think affliction is a better name for love. haha   My brain hurts.  

I loved it by the way.

edited because of hurt brain!

Very poetic prose. I feel like I haven't encountered such romantic language in a long time; it's refreshing to dive into, nostalgic almost, and so atmospheric.

Thank you so much! 🥹💗 I'm thrilled that my words resonated with you and evoked a sense of nostalgia. It's always rewarding to know that my writing can transport someone to a different time or atmosphere.

Oh gosh, this is so hauntingly beautiful and melancholic, truly enchanting. I have never been in love, less have had a broken heart, yet here I am, crying like I have been the one to suffer from a bruised heart, the lovely emotional writing i love so much from coaaf with the atmospheric music just adds so much to the already bittersweet feelings. I just love short tragic stories, even more if they are as well-written as yours ❤️

aaa thank you so much! 🥹🥹

Hauntingly beautiful!  The music alone broke my heart, but it's such a wonderful piece of writing, it's worth the sadness.

The music was so important, I think it really sets the tone. Thank you!
