There's one thing I absolutely HATE about this game -- I made it. This is a game I would've absolutely loved to discover, follow, and play on Day 1, but unfortunately, I made it.

SPOILERS FOR @UntilThenGame AHEAD . . . Now that the game's secret is pretty much open... No matter which "ending" you stop playing at, I consider that as a full, true, and valid experience of the game. There's a very good reason why the rest is hidden away.

I don't get to experience *only* the final version as its creator intended. I know what decisions took place, the things that were scrapped or changed, the challenges we went through, the stress we had to endure, and everything in between.

And this is all for free! I've always loved teaching my passions ever since. Teaching helps me solidify and make more sense of what I've learned, so it's a win-win for the both of us! I've done this before in 2020. I've also taught kids Scratch and held Godot workshops/talks.

John Denver Trending (2019). In the face of fake news, information distortion, and social media, this disorienting film is a relevant eye-opener that'll get you deeply pondering. This is not just a loose adoption of the Ateneo bully scandal. This is a red flag to everyone. 8/10.
