Well, my therapist would say it's a good sign that I'm even thinking about this shit, however flippantly. The past week or so I've literally just been sitting and waiting for death.

I suppose it'd be trivial to just add a "chill" mode that disables the monster / hunter entirely, for folks who just want to do the Myst thing in peace.

I mean, it's not like anyone would play it even if I did make it but it'd be simple enough to add that just in case.

Knowing me, I'd be so afraid of making the puzzles too easy that I'd end up overcompensating and making them needlessly esoteric and obtuse, and adding the horror element would just turn the whole thing nearly impossible and insufferable. But, I dunno, could be cool.

Help isn't coming. It doesn't come. Not really. And maybe that's okay. I don't think I matter very much, to anyone, really, and that's maybe okay too. It all basically ends up the same either way, for all of us, so what's the fuss, why the struggle?

It's purely instinctual at this point.

I know it seems small, but it's actually a barrier for me sharing more artwork, because my executive dysfunction is off the charts.

Someone's probably out there composing them. We just don't hear them because they're getting lost in the the flood of AI generated pop songs about people's very specific individual fetishes and videos about how the pyramids were definitely built by aliens.

I can definitely see it being A Thing. Not my thing, per se, but other people seem to like cart racing games, and people like social deduction games, so why not both?

But don't take my word for it. I am bad at marketing and live with my parents.

Thank you. I will do that.

I feel like I'm all out of tricks.

A lot of complex feelings today ...

No ... me neither, obviously ...

That's an unbelievably kind and generous offer, one that honestly has me misty eyed ... I'll have to think, but I doubt I'd be able to cover travel and incidentals on short notice and probably wouldn't know what to do with myself besides.

Still, I am stunned by the generousity. Thank you.
