    I found the characters pretty flat as well. Neat atmosphere, though. I’m not really into that type of game so it was something new and interesting to me.

    I also finally made the time to play it at a rough time in my life, and oh boy, let me tell you, your personal circumstances at the time of playing have a huge effect on how the game makes you feel if you give in to it. I actually found it pretty helpful, tbh. It helped me process some shit because it gave me the opening to think about some stuff I was kind of ignoring, even though I thought I’d processed it.

    anyways yeah that’s how I found myself crying half drunk in my basement alone playing a video game

    still. the writing was meh. it was neat, but it was meh, and honestly, the mehness is kind of part of it. it’s not some big crazy thing. it’s just some average people doing average people things, nothing special about them, and it allowed me to think about my own stuff instead of the characters’ stuff.
