this lvl makes me feel weird bc a year ago i had a gimmick account about story levels and i mentioned something about this level being a symptom of adhd and people were rightfully mad SORRY!!!!! i was a fucking dumbass a year ago!!!!! SORRY JADE SORRY SEPTEMBER ILY BOTH !!!!!!!!! UR BOTH AMAZING ARTISTS AND IM SORRY I MISINTERPRETED UR ART A YEAR AGO WAAAAA anyway jade and i are friends now so like yayyyyyy!!!!!

but yeah genuine review now, this level is awesome. visually its amazing, but the story is where this level shines. basically, someone (could be a family member, partner, whatever) is trying to have a conversation with you at a lovely, enchanting park setting. however, you can't focus. something's distracting you. you feel anxious. this distraction not only makes it so you can't see their text (or i guess, hear them, if this would be a real life setting), and you literally can't see the gameplay aswell. the other person eventually notices you can't focus, and they comfort you. they tell you to do a breathing exercise, and it works. you get rid of the distractions, you're able to focus. and the last thing they say: "thank you for being here with me!". it's heartwarming. they're telling you that no matter what you do, how you act, even if you get distracted, they'll always be there to support you. no. matter. what. it's incredibly comforting. i don't know if any other level i've played made me feel like this. it's such an incredible feeling.

on another note, this level, as the name suggests, is also a level that's heavily against indicators. iirc, the last level jade made before this had a lot of nasty comments about the gameplay that were sorta like "WAAAA I CANT READ THIS, THIS PART NEEDED INDICATORS" (there were literally saws that u could read in that level lol). i love how jade made this lvl out of possible spite towards these people, but now, i'm gonna be so fr, i don't get indicator hate........ i'm personally indifferent to indicators, but i can't recall a single time where i think they "ruined" a level. it just feels unserious vendetta against something so... basic? and sometimes u can do cool stuff w indicators!!! u can get creative w them!! in fact i think rob even had like, a whole ass phase where he hated indicators and it's just.... girl ur a millionaire it's not that deep just rate the fucking levels Oh my god. it doesn't really affect my rating cuz idgaf about indicators, just wanted to share my opinion on this topic since it's like a "crucial" part of the level, i guess.

but yeah, this level is amazing!!! it's immaculate!!! unfortunately whenever i think of this level i think of my stupidity a year ago, but in a way, i'm happy this level exists and that i did that, i was able to learn from my mistakes!!! easy 10!!!
