It goes without saying that there's no shortage of love for Penny and Daphne--particularly Penny, but I think of those two and the "do-not-separate" meme comes to mind lol.

The first time I booted up the demo and saw them as a playable pair, I kid you not, I just sat there in disbelief. And then I smiled. Laughed quietly to myself. Teared up a little. It might seem like a dramatic reaction to a pair of fictional characters in a zombie game, but to me, it meant the world.

This might be the only game I've ever encountered with a therapist/client duo. I've never felt so seen and so validated by an online community, and the sheer amount of love I see for these two makes my heart swell every time.

My therapist knows all about these two. While she doesn't know much about video games, she's glad I found something to identify with and brings me joy. I would try to get her to play the game, but she and scary things don't mix, unfortunately. leo_wheeze

Sorry this got a little rambly. I have lots more to say that I can't find the words for, but I'll just leave it at this: to the amazing people in the PikPok Team, you have my heartfelt thank you. I love Penny and Daphne with every fiber of my being. Every time I see them my heart does a little dance and my brain goes "that's me! me and my therapist!" and it's the best feeling ever. penny_excited

I agree! Mental Health is not usually a component considered in the zombie titles I've played, and having a therapist with you here opens up a ton of opportunities on that end. I also love how accurate Daphne is as a therapist, as mine also keeps me grounded but still independent. Daphne letting Penny go stabby stabby with the zombies is exactly what my therapist will tell me to do in a situation like that 😆
