Some additional thoughts
What if an authoritarian government completely eradicated all concepts and vocabulary regarding sexuality, gender and intimacy from certain groups of their society?
This started out as something horny but ended up being a (still horny) commentary about the futility of censorship.
While the ending is left ambiguous I like to imagine these moments start a much bigger (and louder) rebellion.

this was stunning, gripping. I meant to get up and get a drink a few minutes in and I found myself glued to the seat instead, I really loved this!
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed it!! <3 Thank you for playing!!
Amazingly effective story, hits incredibly hard for such a short run time. There's something so beautiful of how even if they're refused the words to describe it, they'll still connect no matter what.
Ahh! thank you so much! I also think it’s beautiful and very true!! (Sorry for the late response!)
This was so wholly beautiful
from the script to the narrative
from what vignettes we see to the way they’re rendered
this had me in a trance
such a warming and inspiring experience <3
Thank you so much for your kind words! T^T it means a lot!! <3
This was beautiful... the static and the run-on sentences create such a good atmosphere, practically hypnotic... queer love and desire will always exist, even if the words are taken away. So wonderful and intimate... <3
Thank you so much for playing and sharing your thoughts!! I completely agree 100% <3
This was sososo kind and intimate and it's really really cool! I will definitively play this again! I thought the way you wrote without punctuation really had a noise vibe to it because it was constantly moving without a obvious rhythm. Staticly. It had a radio static vibe to me, also because a lot of sentences only made sense halfway through reading them like listening to a badly connected radio and not immediatly putting together the context. Radio to me is the image of sending out something without immediatly getting feedback, trying to communicate and not knowing if someone has the right frequency, that is such a pure desire for connection that really fit the story you told here. I don't know if that made sense to you, but it's all coming together so very beautifully.
You are so sweeet!! It was a fun challenge to write like that and it’s been nice to know some have connected with it. I love love love your descriptions of radio, what a beautiful and romantic way to put it! T^T
I really like how strongly the idea of this comes across despite the length of the game, it's so effective and also horny which is a big part of its effectiveness. The justification for the noise and the distortion as a presentation coming to me at the end was a really good moment and a perfect way to end it. The futility of censorship is the best way to describe it, yeah.
Also the art is really cute. I loved this.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad that had an effect for you! <3
What an artistic achievement. This is incredible. Thanks you.
Thank you for playing, I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!
So many cool things in here: I love the endless scrolling text with that vanishes on the top. The writing style that uses no punctuation creating a stream-of-conscious (?) in which both characters melt into one. I loved the use of justified text, as I seldom see it used in games (probably because auto-hyphenation and automatic letter spacing is not well implemented yet—I digress). I also liked the dialog presentation: So simple but yet so effective. The concept of bodies speaking without words was really cool. It was a cute and hot encounter. And, it I think it is so cool, that just by the character models I could tell it’s a game made by you.
Oh thank you for these kind words!! It was definitely meant to read like a stream of consciousness, one of the ways I tried to infuse the theme of “noise” into the project, it also felt like how the unfiltered primal “lizard-brain” part of us thinks (or is that just me? lol). Your comments about the artsyle is sooo sweet too T^T
this was absolutely delightful, I really really enjoyed the prose weaving its way across the entire script hehe
the unnamed protags discovering for-them-unnamed facets of intimacy and desire simultaneously evokes the breaking-free within a puritanical censored culture and the intimate ritual of finding the specific love and body language you share with another person as you get to know each other and each other's bodies better
great work :3
Thank you for playing Snek! I’m glad that it was able to evoke such concepts for you! <3
i really love it. the rhythm with which the words are fed to the reader had me finding myself clicking at a steady pace when usually i just click as fast as i can read.. i feel like the run-on nature of it all, surprisingly, made me savor everything just a bit more... these two are cute. i hope they can learn more about each other and themselves
Thank you so much starbage! I was a little worried the writing style would add too much friction to the experience so I’m happy that it helped you savor it more! ^^
Really fantastic. This feels really good to read as someone from sexually repressed culture.No matter what anyone does or what censorship is established or how much knowledge of intimacy is meant to be hidden, people will always feel that innate desire due to nature of humanness. It's something discussed in churches here a lot- 'desires of the flesh'
Thank you so much for mkaing. I really loved the presentation too!! ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡
Thank you for playing mala!! I’m so glad that you liked it, your kind words already made it worth it!
