i loved this, it made me think, imagine what was happening even though we saw just rooms, and when I imagined the situations, I was terrified. I loved the idea that there was no monster but life is the monster or we are the monsters, Love this game.
I went into this game with no idea what to expect being scared and I can honestly say I loved this game it was a totally different game than I expected. This is more of a psychological horror than a traditional game and I feel that one of the scariest things in life is life itself 5 out of 5 I would love to see more content
a wonderful game. the dread i felt as i witnessed john and adam's deteriorating relationship through one-sided dialogue is hard to put into words. it was heavy and thick. it was sweet but quickly soured, and it ached. there weren't any "scares," but i was terrified. witnessing something i shouldnt be seeing. and the cold exhibits before the ending was wonderfully jarring and off-putting. and the ending, despite all the horror and dread, felt hopeful. that yes, things suck, but they could be different, soon. that itll get better.
I very much liked this game, although I don't see how it was a sequel to ROT. The subtle changes were really cool and the story it told (although all you do is walk around during it was pretty interesting). This was A GREAT GAME.
The game was really creepy and it made sure to let you know that. It's also a well executed game for the idea you had. I look forward to your next game.
really cool idea for a game and was executed very well :) I just wasn't sure how to progress at after the letter was read out but I'm also really dumb so that was probably my fault but it was a really fun game to play
Awesome beginning. I have no idea what was happening but I was kept interested all the way through. I think I have played your other game before too. Thanks!
Such a Wonderful game, It took me through a journey and has left me with so many unanswered question what happened, where was i, iS THIS even real! i loved the game and would love to check out other games by you guys too . Here is a letsplay of me hope you like it too and make sure to tell me something if i missed in the comments or any of social media
I played this game thinking it was another horror game but, We Don't Talk About It makes me feel some way. This is really fucking good and the music is perfect, thank you for this.
Thanks be-low! That really means a lot, it's kind words like this which encourage me to pursue game making as a career. Really glad that you enjoyed and hopefully I'll have more games your way before too long :)
I’ve played Rot last week and now is the time to play the sequel! It was freaking amazing! I was on my toes all the time and the story got me thinking! Thank you for that game! Here’s my little playthrough (Polish language) Cheers!
Hey DoomerJack! Great name and avi btw haha. Wanted to say thanks so much for taking the time to make a let's play! It really helps my games grow and I appreciate it a lot. I'm really flattered whenever a let's play is made in a new language because you help to bring my game to entire new audiences and it makes me really happy. Hopefully I can bring more games your way soon!
Hey Emanzi! In terms of workplace unfriendly stuff there is one reference to sex ("sleeping with him was the sorriest thing") and a brief flashing image of a man with a bloody nose. Apart from that, there is nothing explicit about the game :)
Hey IwanPlays! Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make a let's play :) It really helps the game grow and I appreciate it a lot! After you posted this I did actually add the tag haha, I didn't even think of that! Thanks, and I'm really flattered that my voice acting had such an effect
Hey Pandabum! Sorry for the lateness of my reply, just been busy with uni work and that! But I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to let's play the game, really means a lot :) In terms of your story analysis, I'd say that you're almost spot on! The lounge room scene is intended to be self-contained, separate to Justin and Emma's story from Rot. In the lounge scene, I wanted to depict John beginning to resent Adam, neglecting him and planting a gun on him in the hopes that he will take his own life. The lost hair aspect would be to do with Adam's stress and strain. But, that's just my intention! The game is super open and abstract and I welcome any and all interpretations. Subbed btw!
Oh awesome, I was seriously thinking that I missed the mark completely, knowing that its up for interpretation is great as many more theories could potentially come from other games!
Hey radnaya! Sorry for the late reply, just been busy the past couple of days! Wanted to say thanks though for let's playing both my games! It really helps them grow and I appreciate it loads :) Hope to see your channel grow and hope I can swing more games your way soon!
hye no worries, I'm honored that you watched them! they wereso enjoyable, and i want to say thanks for your kinds words and wish you luck in your next adventures! i'll be following your journeys for sure :)
Hey! Thanks so much for let's playing the game, it really helps the game grow and it means a lot! I also remember that you let's played Rot as well so thank you for the continued support! Great to see your channel growing and I hope that I can swing more games your way soon :)
There are so many different emotions and concepts screaming for attention in this game. The links to the developer's previous project, Rot, are also welcome... if only because having a little bit of familiarity amidst the madness is oddly comforting.
From sly digs at certain governments and their cuts in funding, to a strange number-based experiment to absolute hell and back, all within the space of half an hour. It's honestly one of the strangest and horrifying rides I've ever been on, with a faint ray of hope appearing right at the end of it all.
Michael really has a talent for taking raw feelings and throwing them into an interactive story format. While this may not have as much creeping horror as Rot did, there's still a lot to enjoy (if that's the right word!) with this one.
So, first thing to do is head over to the page for Rot and play that before this one. Just to get yourself into the right (or wrong?) frame of mind before diving into this thought experiment.
It's another thumbs-up from me, I can't remember the last time a game left me with equal feelings of despair and hope.
Mikey! Just finished watching the let's play and I have to say thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, it means so much and I'm glad to have seen your channel grown since Rot too!
Hope you and yours are doing well in these crazy times, and I hope to be able to swing more games your way soon my friend <3
Hey Jaboblu! I'm really chuffed that WDTAI was your first video! That's awesome, man, and I love the thumbnail! Hope to see your channel grow and hopefully I can bring more games your way soon :) Subbed!
I get that this is meant to be an art piece more than a game, but having multiple segments where there's nothing to do other than spin in place doesn't make for a great game, and I don't see how it really helps with delivering the message of the piece. It's... fine for what it is, but it's definitely lacking in terms of taking advantage of the medium.
Hey slackattack21! Thanks so much for let's playing WDTAI, it really means a lot and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I think someone in your comments section also enjoyed and that makes me super happy! Hopefully I can bring more games your way soon :)
Played this immediately after playing Rot and I'm impressed. I made a playthrough for each games. It's funny how many details I've missed while playing and it was still an intense experience. I must admit it was pretty late. Or early.
Hey Johnny! Apologies for the late reply, just been a bit busy the past few days, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to let's play both my horror games! Your support means a lot and I appreciate it so much. I saw your analysis at the end of the let's play and I'm really glad that there are elements you enjoyed, and I totally take on board your more constructive criticisms. Hopefully I can get you some more games soon in the future! Subbed :)
Hey Oracle! Sorry for the late reply, just been busy, but wanted to say thanks for let's playing WDTAI, it really means a lot :) glad to hear you enjoyed it too! Hopefully I can bring more games your way soon
Hey STEVIED! Sorry for the late reply, just been busy recently, but wanna say thanks so much for bringing WDTAI to your audience, it really means a lot to me and I appreciate it <3 also glad to see that you enjoyed the game!
Hey Panzer! Unfortunately not at the moment :( I am not so good with Unity yet, this is only my second game in it aha, but I will update you ASAP if I implement this in the future!
I usually do lots of edits to make my videos funnier or goofy but with this one I just couldn't do it. I felt that it would take away from the experience that is expressed in the simulation. I say simulation because it felt less like a game and more of a deep internal expression.
It really touched me in ways. The last few minutes are my take on it, which are expressed as I progress towards the end. Thank you for sharing your secret with us.
Hey L! Sorry for the lateness of my reply, just been busy these past few days. But, I just had a look at your let's play and I have to say that it means the world to me when people find meaning in and connect with my games. I was very touched at your reaction to the end and I'm so glad you could find meaning in it. Subbed!
Hey Elrenia! Sorry for the late reply, just been busy these past few days! But I watched the end of your let's play and I have to say thanks so much for bringing the game to your audience, it means a lot to me <3 And I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! Subbed :)
Dude, this game was brilliant. An absolute masterpiece! I'm only 13, but I felt a big theme of love, and wanting to be free from it (I assume that's the message). I even made a video on it, and I definitely got scared. The ending was absolutely amazing and very abstract. I hope you make more games like this!
Hey P3an3t! Thanks so much for your kind words :) I really just made this game on the side of my uni work in my bedroom so I'm touched to know that you enjoyed it so much! The theme of love is definitely present in both games but they mean a lot of different things to different people, so I'm open to any interpretation! Hopefully I can make more games for you soon! Good luck with the channel <3
Thanks for the kind words, sadly, the audio got messed up so I couldn't post the video, but I will make a video on your other game Rot! Cannot wait for other games you make!!!

This was a very well thought out game, but I try not to think about it ;)
absolutely loved it
game has insane atmosphere and i dig it so much
I very much liked this game, although I don't see how it was a sequel to ROT. The subtle changes were really cool and the story it told (although all you do is walk around during it was pretty interesting). This was A GREAT GAME.
The game was really creepy and it made sure to let you know that. It's also a well executed game for the idea you had. I look forward to your next game.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Came to play the sequel of Rot and was not disappointed! I really liked the song at the end too!
really cool idea for a game and was executed very well :) I just wasn't sure how to progress at after the letter was read out but I'm also really dumb so that was probably my fault but it was a really fun game to play
i'm having trouble putting to words the emotions and feeling i'm going through. I will be thinking about this game for a while
Really truly loved this! Very thought provoking while maintaining an unsettling atmosphere throughout, great job!
Awesome beginning. I have no idea what was happening but I was kept interested all the way through. I think I have played your other game before too. Thanks!
yes, my son gorf enjoyed
almost made me tear up a little, so many emotions! i absolutely loved it
Such a Wonderful game, It took me through a journey and has left me with so many unanswered question what happened, where was i, iS THIS even real! i loved the game and would love to check out other games by you guys too . Here is a letsplay of me hope you like it too and make sure to tell me something if i missed in the comments or any of social media
This was an interesting experience. Loved the pixel graphics and the retro vibes.
Hit me like a truck carrying a ton of bricks. Now I'm morally and intellectually obligated to play Rot.
Thanks starbuiler! This is really high praise, Rot is kind of janky but I hope you enjoy it too! Haha
I liked it quite well after playing. It is just a tad janky but I loved it almost as much as We Don't Talk About It.
I played this game thinking it was another horror game but, We Don't Talk About It makes me feel some way. This is really fucking good and the music is perfect, thank you for this.
Thanks be-low! That really means a lot, it's kind words like this which encourage me to pursue game making as a career. Really glad that you enjoyed and hopefully I'll have more games your way before too long :)

This is beautiful. I loved the ending, and the music was phenomenal.. You really know how to tell a story <3
Thanks so much Travel mug! I appreciate this a lot and I hope that I can bring more games your way soon :)
You're welcome! It's so nice that you responded, tysm :0 <3.
Um just to be safe is this NSFW?...
Hey Emanzi! In terms of workplace unfriendly stuff there is one reference to sex ("sleeping with him was the sorriest thing") and a brief flashing image of a man with a bloody nose. Apart from that, there is nothing explicit about the game :)
By the way: you could add the tag "Voice Acting" to the itch page.
Hey IwanPlays! Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make a let's play :) It really helps the game grow and I appreciate it a lot! After you posted this I did actually add the tag haha, I didn't even think of that! Thanks, and I'm really flattered that my voice acting had such an effect
Pretty good game. I liked how random it was haha. Good experience
Thanks ProGamerGirl! Appreciate you playing :)
I tried to deep dive into the story, did my theory come remotely close to what happened to the narrator of the game? Super curious.
Hey Pandabum! Sorry for the lateness of my reply, just been busy with uni work and that!
