 Which all makes me wonder how IFComp itself affects this game. Not in a “does this deserve to be here” sense - not at all! It definitely deserves to be here. But this is a game with a “dip” and here I am at the commit-or-quit point with thirty more comp games staring me in the face. Will I come back to Lost Coastlines after the comp and invest the additional hours to make it my rewarding lunchtime distraction? Probably not, if I’m being honest - I don’t have a lot of room in my life for these deep games anymore. But it sure seems like some people will, and their extended experience with the game will be a lot more telling of its success than my false start. I’ll be watching their reactions, and one of them might draw me back in. I kind of hope it does. Which all makes me wonder how IFComp itself affects this game.
