@theBanov Hey, I was wondering if I could ask a couple questions about Chicory. I just finished the game today. It was incredible! I always love your stuff, man. But I am wondering a couple things after the fact.

ask away

Firstly, I was kind of wondering if the old phrase of "don't meet your heroes" was an inspiration behind the story at first. Pizza looks up to Chicory as a role model, however the more they learn about her, the more they realize she's not as "perfect" as they thought.

I loved this whole twist the game had though where while yours heroes maybe be more flawed than you realized, that's not necessarily a bad thing. As the two ended connecting and becoming better friends through talking about their flaws.

It was super neat to see as that's not often where a story inspired by that idiom goes, and I wonder if that was a jumping off point for the plot.
