Keep the Lights On
The store is closing. The town is going dark. You are all alone, and it's your responsibility to keep the lights on.
An emotional piece on loss and also a candy store.

This is fantastic! Such a beautiful metaphor for sooooooooo much of life... It gives me a "we must imagine Sisyphus as happy" vibe while also screaming about every loss, even the good ones, like letting go of my former self and becoming someone new, someone better.
Geez, it just hit me that this makes me think of the loss of my pre-transition self. I'm so different now... In ways I'm proud of, sure, but it took the (metaphorical) death of myself to do that. All represented by this spectacular game.
Thank you for making it, it's amazing. You capture it in every word, every image... Even the choices! When I first played, I was like "who cares, hard work is done for self-pride, not for others to see, mop that frickin floor!" and by the second play it was like "who even cares? Why lose energy to things that don't matter?"
