I'm going to be real, and this is just from my experience so call me ignorant,
So much of newgrounds has been drown drowned by irony and cynicism that, to me at least, it's hard to find the genuine efforts to create something that isn't ironic and bitter. I'm not gonna act like they don't exist because shit, there are amazing creators on here who have made great things, it's that I haven't seen much of them because I mainly see unflattering thumbnails and "So bad it's good" kind of animations and games.
So when I see things like this get pushed, I get relieved that creatives are not jaded by how shitty life and society can be and made the effort to create something they are invested in and want to see in the world to entertain the rest of it.
So yeah, good game, we need more love for projects like this.
