I just finished playing through this with my friend ohmygod. This was so beautifully written,, Both endings make so much sense for Atsushi. (One of) My biggest gripe with tetro is that Daiki never got a proper life and I enjoyed seeing Atsushi grieve that alongside Daiki,, I loved the first ending with their domestic life.
I'm usually not one to leave comments on things lol, but this game was so good!! Ty for feeding the teikedasphere
I wanted to write a story that let them grieve the chances they never got in the narrative! Thank you for playing it and for commenting on it, I'm very glad you enjoyed the game :)
