My second time ever using RPG Maker MZ!
This game was a form of "venting", and a way for me to deal and/or come to terms with my severe depression.
"Myosotis" was a project of passion for me, and it took several months to complete as I was dealing with a lot of severe emotional trauma at the time...
I was also struggling to conceptualize and view my trauma, so it was very emotionally draining to work on specific parts of the game.
The parts of the game that included looking into parts of my home life were very minimal, and I felt like I could've explored that in more detail... but I also felt extremely exposed at this point, and didn't want to tackle more "extreme" topics in regards to my home life.
At least, not in public detail as much as other aspects of my life. ((Which is why I kept the detail(s) of my harassment in the workplace))
I know it can be difficult to take this game seriously- but it really was a way of healing, I think. Again, a way for me to vent and jot down my anguish in some artistic form.

After Myosotis' release, I felt like a major weight was off my shoulders; I felt like I could tell all sorts of other stories, fictional or non-fictional. I really enjoyed working on it, in the end.
To be honest, I didn't initially plan on the protagonist being a representation of myself. I originally planned on the protagonist to be another nameless person, and the entire game was just supposed to be "spooky scary psychological horror" with some inspiration from my own experiences...
And then it took the form you have today. It's definitely a work of passion, and I know it's not very polished or beautiful- but I'm quite pleased with the finished piece. I hope you'll check it out, if you're interested.
