I Tried to Grow A Girlfriend …But Now I Want to EAT Her?!

[@uranian-Umbra]

As someone who’s lost a loved one to cancer, the “I don’t want to die” stuff really hit me in the feels. The idea that you will die really soon and you can’t do anything about it is terrifying. I wish anyone who’s experienced this, knows someone who’s experienced it, or is experiencing it right now happiness n their life and any life they may have. (I am crying over mushrooms right now)

[@iclynnx]

Sorry for your loss, be well!

[@melissayoung6316]

I'm so sorry you went through that, I hope you're doing ok!

[@trubluIs]

Thank you so much for playing my game! I was literally doing script-writing for the full game when my phone started buzzing with emails, showing people were suddenly downloading A LOT of my demo. Such a fantastic surprise to find out one of my favourite KZbinrs gave it a shot :D Thanks for the mega-dose of motivation!!!

[@trubluIs]

Also, I find it hilarious that you got the worst ending on your first try.

I really wish she could have survived in some way! but i understand and it's so bittersweet 😭This legit made me cryyyyyyy. But amazing game 10/10 😭❤

[@trubluIs]

Thank you for the lovely comment @@Ash_LovesYou16 It's my favourite thing to hear that something I made was able to make them cry, so thanks for your contribution to the Grow a Girlfriend tear bucket and making my day brighter! Glad you liked the game so much :)

[@ryuzaki4703]

Me immediately realizing Lauren's character was chronically ill. The exhaustion from just a short outing the day before and the feeling nauseated ,drowsy, or dizzy when you're hungry. The understanding the feeling of people who are suffering knowing they are going to die soon. We understand the dread because it feels like we're dying constantly but slowly. It completely broke my heart watching this character with a terminally ill but still fairly physically abled one.

[@petlove2092]

The reason the character was dizzy is because they hadn't eaten in days, the character was meant to struggle with major depression

[@kenken_lucia]

…I think the character was meant to struggle with depression?

[@Pandanas666]

I confirm it's either (autistic) burn out or depression with severe anxiety. I know many people with mental disorder (like depression, anxiety, PTSD or burn out, for example) who have exactly the same mind set as the main character. Except getting outside doesn't miraculously heal us. It takes time, love, care and help from others. Just like he did for her, and just like she did for him.

Lauren last week: This game looks cute but is actually creepy Lauren today: This game looks creepy and actually is creepier

[@itsthejavavoid]

this is really making me remember when i had my depressive rut last year. on one hand, i did everything that i could to help my friends feel as happy as they could be, but i forgot to take care of myself for a long time. and that led to me losing a few friendships. i still remember how bad it hurt, how much i wanted to cry every night. button's thoughts about death are so close to the ones that i had been feeling. but another half of me likes it? i like that its being talked about in this sort of way. it makes me feel more understood. it's an amazing game. plus it has mushrooms which is a bonus
