I had started this game after playing the creators other work "All There" and I do not regret playing that or this one. The Red Ballet is a interesting story about well, to my interpritation... lonliness, mental struggle, the pros and cons of your dreams, and just love? to a degree? I felt like the way the routes were implimented to be interesting, at first i was doing Misha's route because the scene in the dungeon hadn't completely clicked, while yes Sid was on a bed I didnt inheritly see it as a sex dungeon, I should've listened to the words because as soon as Misha's sprite moved when I chose his route I reloaded and did Emilios. When I experienced the scene and realized the depravity it reminded me of my own times of being groomed when I was younger, it made me feel, alone. I wanted to be loved but the love I was given wasnt unconditional, it was only gained through actions I didnt want to do. I've never felt more in-tune to a character than with Sid, he struck a cord with me and I dunno, it felt relatable. I think Emilio's writing is great, hes lovable and I truly want to help the guy even though hes fictional, I may do Misha's route next but I'll probably turn off NSFW because of my own mental stuff, I dunno if you see this but thank you Mr/Mrs Pink. Your stories are great and im thankful I read something so impactful.
