Fetch rated Bitter/Sweet Blythe

Fetch rated a game 288 days ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Things I'll remember about this game. Blythe's gentle sweetness and their obsessive need to have the complete attention of main character. The dueling personalities of the two Blythes. The feeling of dread at not knowing what's going on, worrying about whether what I'm doing is making things better or worse. The "bitter/sweet" song, which I have playing in the background as I write this. The voice acting, which brought Blythe (both versions) to wonderful, endearing, slightly unsettling life.

I would love to see the original concept see the light of day eventually. I wonder whether there's more to be said, about both Blythes, about the main character, and the subtext.

I honestly didn't understand what was going on until I checked out the Extras after completing the game. Once I knew that, it recontextualized everything. That's what the best of games do.
