Thank you for having the heart to make and share this game!

Thank you so very much for playing!!

hello i played this a few days ago and i cant get it out of my head, the visuals the narrative the twist it was just... wow. sometimes you just get these really rare gems that pop up and its just... wow. this story really hit home and im very glad you decided to share this. thank you :]]

Wow, thank you so much!! I'm touched that it spoke to you, and I thank you very much for saying so. 

I've downloaded it, but there's no " Living the dream.exe " in the zipfile, only "WindowsIconUpdater.exe" and that doesn't launch the game . Maybe i did something wrong?

There should be a "win64" folder within the archive that has the game exe, I think? The WindowsIconUpdater is one level above, next to the folder you're looking for! I'll clarify the instructions, sorry for the trouble!

It was touching, and really hit close to home.
Thank you for this!

Thank you very much for playing, and for your comment!!

This was a moving, troubling, useful, precious thing to play. Thanks a lot for making it.

I'm glad you found it worthwhile, thanks a million!
