I really want to rate this higher, but what i felt from this just didn't feel right this time. I played this immediately after lavender laboratories. I had no problem with the story itself, but i disliked the more forceful approach Mr. Voldritch has this time. The music in the background kept playing with my mind, I kept thinking my dad's voice was speaking in the midst of the music, but it turned out that my dad just speaks in a similar tone as some of the melody. It distracted me and made me feel alert at times i wasn't supposed to. Then there was that word poppy- i didn't get much farther. I associate poppies, especially red ones, with death. I am aware of the use of poppy opium in the far past that was often prescribed for sleep, but the only thing that came to my mind when I saw the letters were the red poppies planted at the gravesites of soldiers. That sort of imagery combined with him saying it was a happy feeling just really rubbed me wrong. Your games are amazing, and I wish I was able to enjoy this more. Perhaps this was just a one=off negative experience. I heard one of the characters are a bit more laid back, but I don't know how I feel about trying again at the moment. Maybe another day.
