    Summary

    To commemorate this new understanding of things, you put a kind of signature up above the glass windowpane.

    Three dots arranged in a triangle.

    “What does that mean?” a “player” might scratch their head and wonder.

    Because people always do that with art, don't they? Insist that everything has meaning.

    A few of Coda's thoughts as they were designing each game.

    (I am not a game designer/developer)

    Comments are off for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that this is a very personal journey of trying to move away from needing external validation.

    Summary

    He thought that he had fixed it, that maybe if Coda played the game, he would realise that in the end he only wanted to belong, to feel loved. He thought that Coda would understand, that he would hear how broken he was and forgive him.
    But now...
    Codas' voice hate-filled voice echoed through his head
    Why on earth would I play my games?
    Davey hadn't been alright for as long as he could remember, but now that Coda had sat faced to face with him and Coda had told him he hated him.
    Davey couldn't breathe
    The guilt and pain swallowed him as Codas' words vertebrated over and over.
    Our friendship is over.
    And Davey was well and truly alone as he sank below the waves.
