I just want to remember
This is a text-based branching narrative about loving and forgetting. The game includes three different experiences of the same date from the point of view of a person with object constancy issues experiencing emotional dysregulation.
As the day progresses, you will have choices that may, or may not, shape the narrative. There are only so many things you can control, and it's hard to tell whether anything you do will make a difference.
Content warning: nothing particularly distressing occurs in the game, but it does contain scenes of an intensely emotional nature that some people may find upsetting. Please take care when playing.

holy shit. i uh. yeah. ouch.
i found this game through your disco elysium piece, which i found from doing research for a class you apparently gave a guest lecture in two years ago. small world.
i find it comforting that there are others out there like me. im sorry you know how it feels, but im glad you took the time to create art about it.
wait turns out i hadnt actually finished the game before writing any of that. you tricked me into reading a therapy book you bastard. my panic-mode decision-making will never recover. (/positive)
in all seriousness, a lovely game. thank you for making it. might check out the book too. also, im totally basing my whole presentation off of your DE piece. well, maybe not the whole thing, i still wanna talk about plurality. anyways. uh. so yeah. thanks for all your work!
Thanks for much for taking the time to play, and read, my work!
It's especially nice to hear it's via a teaching connection, and I hope the DE blog is useful for your research.
My opinions about some of this stuff (including the DBT) have changed a lot since making this. Everything we create is such a reflection of a specific moment in time, and I'm very relieved to say that, for me, this moment has passed - though, it echoes.
I often wonder about continuing to keep such work visible, but responses like yours make it worth it!
Beautifully written and insightful.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to play.
That was beautiful :)
Thanks! :3
