Que gatilho me deu esse jogo. Esse jogo mostra como um relacionamento abusivo é na prática. Como um parceiro pode nos manipular e sugar o restante de sua consciência e nos tornar vulneráveis a ponto de pensarmos que n somos nd sem eles. Se uma pessoa faz isso com vc, termine imediatamente antes que seja tarde demais. Nota 10 pra esse jogo!
THIS IS SUCH A PHENOMENALLY REALISTIC GAME. I'm still literally holding back tears hahahah this was such a hard playthrough to sit throughhh
Ending 3 was a different level of grief. I needed to take a LOT of breaths in-between each ending before the true ending because honestly... this was the most mentally disturbing thing I've put myself through TvT
But this is also really helpful for awareness, so tysm to the whole team for making it possible!!
The fact that it is ALWAYS easier to watch it from someone else's POV than seeing it happen to yourself, the sheer struggle in overcoming the cycle and breaking through it... words aren't enough to describe how much of an emotionally, mentally, physically taxing challenge it is. And the game made me seriously empathize with that (which wasn't hard to do bcuz the voice acting made it super personal and realistic ahahah)
All I can say is the true ending was worth every time my chest tightened up from witnessing the endless cycle of abuse. The twin-to-twin communication that everybody needed (because EVERYONE equally needed that kinda therapeutic healing) also healed the emotional damages I've gotten - especially seeing what happened to each of them, after. Those glimpses just gave the closure that was needed. This was the best, soul-wrenchingly realistic gameplay and I have not a single regret deciding to play this to the end :,,>
no tengo palabras para describir como este juego me ha hecho sentir... admito que al inicio no me interesa tanto, es decir SI pero, cuando empezo a llegar al punto en el que hubo manipulación de por medio de cierta manera me empezo a afectar, no tan fuertemente por suerte, pero si me dejo pensando. Cuando llegue al ultimo final quede en lagrimas totales... Honestamente entiendo mucho lo que es tratar de esconder un trauma tras un recuerdo lindo que nunca paso, ya que en algun punto mi madre realmente fue horrible conmigo y me escondi tras algo como eso. Siempre la justifique con cosas como que no tenia la culpa, que solo estaba estresada (y aun así por dentro si me quejaba, pero nunca lo decia por miedo a que ella me a nuevamente). Yo sigo con ella, honestamente sigo con todo el dolor que alguna vez tuve en el pasado. Al menos ahora no estoy dispuesta a perdonarla completamente, por que sigo dañada por todo lo que ha hecho, realmente ha tenido un efecto traumatico en mi pero aun así tengo el valor para aceptar sus disculpas algun día si es que las da. No se si decir que le hecho la culpa de como me comporto actualmente, por que tal vez tengo mala actitud o algo así segun mis padres
mi papa tampoco estuvo tan presente cuando lo necesite pero aun así fue mi mayor figura de apoyo y la persona en la que actualmente me resguardo a pesar de que a veces nos tratemos mal. No lo perdono, no los perdono, pero el amor que siento es más grande. Mentiria si digo que no hay rencor de por medio por todo lo que ha pasado pero aun así los amo.
Este juego me parece algo realmente increible. La angustia de MC y todo el dolor que pasa por la manipulacion realmente se siente mucho y no solo eso, tambien el reflejo del trauma de los personajes a causa de todo pasado anteriormente se ve. Se notan las raices y como eso los ha afectado a largo plazo. Me alegra mucho que el ultimo final no sea algo agrio o algo así, es un final donde a pesar del dolor todos encuentran un camino a la luz. Si, todo el dolor sigue estando, pero todos han hecho su esfuerzo por seguir adelante y lo han logrado, se han amado.
btw... es muy fuera de tema pero me dio un poco de risa los 2 artes que se mostraron cuando los gemelos se abrazan entre si o cuando uno de ellos amenaza a mc con suicidarse NO TIENEN NADA DE MALO OKAY, solo se me hizo algo gracioso el cambio artistico pero fuera de eso toda mi experiencia jugandolo fue increible!!! gracias por crear este juego, realmente tengo mucho para pensar ahora <3
Foi uma maravilhosa experiência jogar esse jogo. Me deixou completamente surpresa quando aos finais e a história dele, além de emocionada com a mensagem que ele vem a passar. SIMPLESMENTE JOGUE!
This is incredibly well-written. I am not able to play for a different ending because it made me feel so strongly that it left an impact on me mentally. I truly adore this game. As a person who used to behave in an abusive manner without realizing it, this game helped me fully come to terms with the magnitude that my words and actions, which were similar to the love interest's at times, affected my ex. It made me feel incredibly remorseful because the protagonist's thoughts of being useless, being at fault, etc, were how I felt in the abusive relationship I myself had suffered, and were likely also how my ex felt during my time with them. It truly resonated with me and hurt to play, but that just shows how well-executed it is. It brought me to tears because it reflected how my own actions have affected other people and I am incredibly remorseful for them.
TL;DR Great game. Really hit close to home as someone who used to hurt others in a similar way without meaning to.
this is a good game but im unable to finish for personal reasons. which is unfortunate because it's gifted me a powerful reminder i feel done with real relationships and i play all kinds of romance vns like whimsical, dark, yandere, commercial, indie vns anything that i can indulge in fantasy and escapism and this one was a ice cold wave of reality i saw the warning and expected it a little but i didnt expect it to be this real, and yes im glad i tried it.
mc's internal monologue and relationship dynamics with the siblings are distressfully relateable i had to hold back a sustained acid reflux reaction through the majority of my first playthrough. it was hard to get through and the ending i got really made me want to throw up so i am stopping here and leaving it incomplete
it was frustrating for me to rediscover the bottomless pit feeling all over again and acknowledge that i am still affected by a past breakup years ago which, my ex is alive and well living his best life today so i am not worried about him in the least. i guess i discovered that i am still angry at myself.. i wish i could cut those feelings and experiences clean out of my life
apart from my physical reaction, it was refreshing and validating to see this experience done in a game. the metaphor is nice, it really made me feel everything all over again, guilt, anxiety, frustration, betrayal, doubting my sanity always second-guessing myself and being a terrible person to someone i care about because my best intentions are never enough for them. i still dont know how i feel about it, but this is helping me organize my experiences for some closure.
i'm very grateful you made a visible, serious, trigger warning because i was prepared for it and i respect you for making a really good game. i wont be finishing it but it is leaving an positive, impactful reminder for me.
I’m glad to hear that the content warning allowed you to make that decision and that you’re caring for your well-being and comfort above all else. Hydrangea is a very heavy game indeed and I completely understand where you’re coming from.
I’m honored to hear that this game left a positive impact on you and I hope you’re able to work through these troubles and know that you’re not alone 🫂
after sleeping on it, i feel a lot better. i want to tell you how much i like this game and attest that it's well made. i was surprised how it's so accurate, straightforward and relateable. it's amazing how it's easy to understand.
the breakdown and re-presentation of the obsessive romance trope feels original and personal. the twin's perspective really adds to the overall realism too. usually i enjoy the "i love them and i can fix them" plot lines as fiction fantasy. i'm not complaining, i like happy endings realistic or not. but playing this game was really personal like the content warning said, and i'm grateful to have had this opportunity. :)
it's been hard to find closure. this kind of feeling is rarely accurately depicted in media so i've given up, or never looked for it. i don't talk. i have a friend who's gone through similar stuff and we grew close but it's too personal and confusing to really talk about.
the opportunity to reflect on my emotions with this euphemism was really nice. i'm thinking about telling my friend about this game too.
if you would like to translate this game into korean sometime, i would love to help. i'll send you an email if you're open to it.
This was so well done, I absolutely loved it. Very heavy and very much hits far too close to home yet beautifully executed and definitely something I would come back to.
J'aime tellement ce jeu, j'y ai joué il y a quasiment 1 an, et je voulais y rejouer, mais mon ordi a gardé mon ancienne partie malgré le fait que j'ai désinstallé-réinstallé et ça me frustre un peu TvT
Savez-vous comment faire pour que je puisse y rejouer comme si c'était la première fois ?
It was done beautifully. All the endings stuck with me and left me thinking, the one that hurt the most was definitely the last one. I'm really fond of the characters
This is incredible. What an amazing and true-to-life depiction of manipulation and the pain that it causes. This made me analyze a lot of my past relationships and think about how much they may have affected me. Incredibly thought-provoking.

Una pregunta, no está en español? 😞
the generational cycle in the game is just so painfully real and relatable, well written!!

This is a wonderful game that evokes incredible emotions. Icould barely hold back my tears at the end.
This game is very well made and brought out a lot of emotions in me

J'aime tellement ce jeu, j'y ai joué il y a quasiment 1 an, et je voulais y rejouer, mais mon ordi a gardé mon ancienne partie malgré le fait que j'ai désinstallé-réinstallé et ça me frustre un peu TvT

Bonjour, je ne parle pas français, j’utilise donc Google Traduction.
Essayez de supprimer les données du dossier de sauvegarde du jeu, puis suivez ceci : https://savelocation.net/renpy
Vous devriez trouver un dossier portant le nom d’Hydrangea. Supprimez toutes les données et vous devriez pouvoir recommencer.
It was done beautifully. All the endings stuck with me and left me thinking, the one that hurt the most was definitely the last one. I'm really fond of the characters
Thank you so much for playing! ❤️
