All of sounds of grinding, noises that gouging my gum, and the floss colored in scarlet exactly represent my pains in actual life. Awesome work!
haha I hope it doesn't deter you from going. This was really fun and uplifting to watch, thanks for sharing <3
It seems like you had some technical issues I haven't seen before (text blinking badly, layout acting up, game skipping scenes). I'm taking a look at it, but I'd be grateful if you could let me know: 1) what device and browser you used, 2) how old the device is, and 3) if you played windowed or fullscreen. Thanks in advance! :)

Thank you so much! so, I played on my hp gaming laptop and I downloaded it from the itch.io app but I use the internet explorer browser. my laptop is only a year and 3 months old but it's not the best gaming laptop so it might be on my end but it doesn't hurt to check behind me lolz. Also, I had is windowed (can't really fullscreen games lolz)
Thanks for the info! I've resolved the blinking and updated the itch upload, and I'll look into making the layout nicer for windowed mode! Also, I'm looking into it, but I think the scene skipping was a misunderstanding. Some scenes don't have any responses to pick, they just transition to the next scene after a few seconds. Watching you play made me realize they're a bit fast and a bit unclear, so I'll do my best to improve that! Again, thanks for the help, and thanks for playing! <3
Excellent work! It's really neat to see all the changes you've made throughout development. The addition of sound adds so much to the experience.
It's was very painful listening to the dentist remove the plaque... but so relatable haha. Well done!
looks super cool!
