My game, my truth 💜
I’ve been reflecting on feedback about Blake: The Visual Novel and want to share my thoughts. When I created it, it wasn't intended to be about D.I.D. I left the narrative open for people to interpret in their own way, believing that giving space for others to find their own meaning makes storytelling powerful. Some people felt the game portrayed D.I.D in a problematic light, and I respect their perspectives - but was never my intention. Blake reflects my inner battles with mental health - the dark side of my mind that tries to take over at times, and the part of me that rises up to fight against it. It’s exaggerated, fantastical & symbolic, but not a depiction of any specific mental health disorder. For a while I took feedback to heart, believing I’d done wrong and devalued myself and my game. I made it free, stopped talking about it, felt shame. I realise now you should never be scared to be authentic. Blake was an act of courage and I'm honouring it & reclaiming my narrative<3
