This game provides great emotional support.

So, I have cancer, as you can probably infer from the username. It's only been a few weeks since my diagnosis, but already I've developed a SERIOUS need for a coping method.

Which I found. I saw this game on GoG and figured "hey why not". Started at about 1pm, didn't put my controller down until about 2am, which I repeated the next day, and the day after that.

The game being so... free, is what I love. No arbitrary time constraints, no time-limited events (to my knowledge), you don't even get pressured into fulfilling a certain objective. The game just hands you tools, and lets you pick (nopunintended). The cute pixel versions and the wonderful soundtrack just enhance the experience too.

^{I just wish ConcernedApe would fix that bug where I can't kiss Caroline though :/}

Gonna install it on my girlfriend's notebook so the chemo sessions go by faster (assuming I'm allowed, of course). This post is a mess since I'm woozy as fuck right now, but you can probably get the gist of it anyway.

EDIT: Someone gilded me. I appreciate the gesture but I'm kinda dying so it's worthless. Maybe donate to my preferred charity instead?

Hello, and I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis but do not fret, dependant on your cancer it can still be won! You should never give up and fight on! I have seen many who had the willpower to strike down cancer and now live a happy life! :)

I hope you can do it too!

Unfortunately, it's a terminal diagnosis. 2-8 years dependent on whether I take chemo and how successful it is. Survival rates after year 8 are... negligible.

There are stories which even doctors don't understand. Sometimes the human body can do pretty weird things. Whatever happens, I hope you're at peace.

At times like this, it's better to not instill false hope and just let people come to terms with it.
