be.loved [DEMO]

a little bit of a serious note here, just to clear a few things up for anyone suspicious of the content or its intentions;

this is a horror experience. this isn't supposed to be enjoyable as ideal, representative of any deeper ideology or group, and it's definitely not supposed to be idealized as any perfect relationship dynamic. this isn't romance, and if you see it as romance, the best i can do for you is ask you to step away from this game and games like it, and get help. re-evaluate your life and the choices that came from it, and put yourself in the right headspace to realize you deserve a love that doesn't physically or mentally harm you in any way. 

none of the actions performed by the aggressor(s) in this game are condoned or justified by anyone involved. this game's intent is to develop a sense of unease and despair, and i would be greatly disappointed if anyone were to take its themes at face value and use them to misrepresent intentions, good or bad. 

whatever you take from this game overall is entirely up to your prerogative. you are allowed to indulge in this as a fantasy, or simply a time waster, or maybe even something more. regardless, once it's on your screen and being played by you, YOU hold partial responsibility for what you consume if this wasn't forced into your viewing space. 

make no mistake, this project's purpose is not to offend anyone in the slightest, but at some point it might raise a bit of concern. and that's wonderful! it's amazing to see the ways in which media can compel you. but with that, i have to admit there's a bit of openness i approach any comments or remarks with, in an attempt to better myself through any little bumps that we'll come across.

with that, let me specify again. 

THIS IS NOT ROMANCE. ABUSE IS NOT ROMANTIC.

i respect any audience/influence this gains enough to trust that this warning won't go to waste.
