Purple Prose for Purple Hearts: **** the Witch
A downloadable game
Meet Lucia. You're probably wondering how she
okay, okay - you're probably not wondering that. She certainly is though; she tends to do it far too much. Today, she's had a funny idea: it includes, among other things, capturing a person in a pretty consensual, laidback, entirely safe manner to have a drawn out conversation about, like...God, the moral bankruptcy of 1900s psychological studies...anime maybe?
If that sounds trite on its face, well, perhaps it is. What ensues though is an event unheard of on the Last World, the world located most closely to the end of the universe and the last one we are ever likely to get in this lifetime. It is a leisurely trip through a maze with jagged edges. It becomes a commentary upon commentary as commentators gather to gawk and speculate about a series of events no one can really firmly understand.
And what the hey: you stick around after the end, we got romance, thrills, chills, and things it would be impolitic to talk about as a lead-in to an adventure through comforting environs with a witch and her agenda.
cw: sexual assault / rape (of monkeys), analogies about child torture, solitary confinement, animal abuse, prisons, clinical trials/animal experimentation, religious delusions/fixation/obsession. apologies for these and any missed triggers leading up to this game's release; it was not written with anything but the best of intentions by every subject covered herein.

Small whoopsie I'm recording for posterity: in the initial launch (that is, before this comment), the uhhhhhh cool CG I have alluded to in the credits did not work. It was an error. Big mistake on my part.
It does now though!
Glad to see my friend putting their game out ^_^ I'll check it out sometime hopefully soon.
tysm! you're so kind! i appreciate it and i couldn't have done it without you ^^
