This was very painful and uncomfortable to play and read. I am terribly sorry for what you've gone through, and I hope you can find the help you need one day.
Reading what you said about Sally being strong and not giving a damn about sex, with all the context this game provided, I didn't perceive Sally to be a strong, unphased woman. It sounds like she's as traumatized as you are, not immune to what you both had to endure.
thankyou for making this, and im sorry for what you went through to the point of this game. i havent gone through what you have, and i wont try and claim to, or to understand it completely, but im glad you were able to finish this game despite the memories and i hope good things happen to you in the future.
Playing this felt like looking into a mirror in so many ways. The most startling thing was that, even until now, I was under the impression that the culture of SW I experienced was isolated, alone, and something I never even bothered to explain to others because they wouldn't get it. That's why your game is so poignant to me. The line about keeping the old clothes in case you needed them for work again was exactly something I've done too. I wish I could say I'm at the point of throwing them away, but financial fears always loom over me. I'm trying to rediscover how to be close to others in a non-transactional way. Thank you for making this for people like us to feel solace and for outsiders to feel for us.
