As of now the story has only one chapter of five. Chapter two has already been outlined (although roughly) and is ready to be written, however there is no fixed schedule for updating since lately I have been in a weird writer's block .
This is my first time posting something I've written on the internet, usually I keep it for myself and my friends but these last few months made me think a lot (not good if you're me lol) so there you go.
I'd love to get some feedback, please be gentle but be free to critic so that I can get better!
(also fair to keep in mind that english is NOT my native language so if there are errors of such matter let me know so I can fix them asap!!)
Oh and the UI might be subjected to change in future once I make sense of it all and shout out to @/nyehilism here on itch.io for the template I'm using<3

just randomly stumbled upon your IF and i love it already 😭. saw the description: "you get to go to therapy", and immediately locked in.
seeing the chapter 1 named as 'denial', and there are five chapters, i guess it's going to be about the five stages of grief then? which i would love btw, if that's what you're going for. IFs that are dark or are about death and grief are my kind of fun (
i may need professional help).the way you write is beautiful btw, made me really feel what the MC is going through. i was going through stages of confusion, and when it clicked to me what is happening, it broke my heart 😭 (especially with the mom). reminds me of a cog called "the grim and i", which also made me sad and i cried for days 😭.
sorry i kind of rambled, i just love your work. may i ask though if you're still planning on continuing this? no pressure or anything btw!
hi, thank you so much for playing my game and leaving this lovely comment!
I am very happy to hear you enjoyed it, and do not worry I plan on finishing it. I have been busy planning and writing an another IF I have been itching to make for a while, so psychopomp got a bit of a backseat... however, chapter two is being worked on so perhaps the update may come soon!
your comment made my day, so thank you once again and hope you have a good day/night wherever you are<3
im glad to know it! looking forward to ch. 2 and your future IF if you ever plan to publish it <3
