I really enjoyed this. Not my typical thing but really seemed to hit the right notes for me. Looking forward to more.

HOLY HECK, this is impressive! I am already falling in love with the story and some of the characters 
I also really like the fact that you can choose the background for the MC even though it’s limited with 3 options but I found it very relatable for some reason and another great thing is the MCs background really matters to the characters! I do wish I can write my own lyrics in there like Infamous 
but overall, it’s really good!

Heyo <3
Thanks so much 
the lyrics thing isn’t gonna happen tho, I’m sorry. I really want for the other characters to be able to comment on them/I want the content to be meaningful to the story.

I, for one, am glad. Saves me from having to copy paste a lot of Springsteen songs into the text boxes. I mean mc may be a genius songwriter but if real life me was one I’d have a whole other life.

Hi, thanks so much for the compliment I don’t mean this to sound conceited but I have a tiny request: I would appreciate if you didn’t compare this to other IFs in a complimentary context. Like the “Press Play is doing X better than this other IF”. I know it’s a nice thing you’re saying but to me, it’s like that’s pitting IFs against each other, and that’s just something that makes me kind of uneasy. Of course you’re free to say whatever you like but I just figured I’d say this bc it’s kind of important to me.
Again, I hope I’m not coming off as combative right now, because I really don’t intend to. I really appreciate replies <3

Understandable and no need to be sorry! I think it’s better to have the song commented on too.

Haha that’s in line with what a lot of other people (also over on tumblr) have told me 
I get it, 100%. Also, ngl I just like writing lyrics (even tho I’m not sure I’m good at it bc I’m just starting out) so this is fun for me, too

That’s a relief 
I was afraid a lot of people would take issue with it, but you’re actually the first person saying they would have preferred their own lyrical input (I think)

I mean, I figured the opposite way, Lincoln was so “yeah, right” about the question of school that I figured they had graduated earlier than MC.
(I’m sorry, I missed this earlier.)

Hi there, I just wanna say I really like this interview-like format. I think its cool to give some hints about the plot. I’m curious about the lyrics (I don’t know if its been asked before), did you write them or you picked a song you liked?
