Not really a game, it's just a short story over a single pixel art image. No interactivity other than advancing the text.
It's fine, but it's maybe 5 minutes worth of content. 10 if you read slow ig.
It also seems strange that you spend the whole thing talking about how you can have any body you want and then end it by pointlessly gendering an artificial intelligence? I don't like that.
Re: your last paragraph, you're welcome to whatever interpretation you have even if it doesn't gel with my authorial intent, but for context, I wrote this story to process my fear over coming out to my family shortly before I actually did it. The robot being gendered at the end of the story sort of is the whole point. On the outside she's a box lacking any gendered signifiers, and most people would probably default to referring to her as "it" or "they", but nonetheless, she's a she. Her ability to self-designate that way is integral to her newfound autonomy in exactly the same way as her desire to attain a new body is. They're intertwined.
Hey weird question, but would you be at all interesting in collaborating to port this game to the NES? I'm currently experimenting with a NES visual novel engine and this game would look extremely good in it.
If you wanna see how the engine runs, you can see the game I'm working on here:
Striking, beautiful art, and a well-executed plotline. The endings moral hit home for me, since I struggle with constantly wanting to escape or leave my current situation instead of standing my ground and acknowledging what's wrong. I loved everything about it :)

well great story about discover saturn
nice art, tho there could be a little more of it. Cute story and dialogue too, rather poignant and I like the world building-would want to see more!
