I really liked this one! I thought it was a unique execution of mind-reading in both gameplay and story. I liked just the three words and how they could be a metaphor for the harmful effects of overthinking.
I enjoyed how the empty words part could be interpreted as a sign of being genuine or a true absence of feelings. Did Mark mean the compliments he gave to Julius, or was it just fluff? Maybe he really meant the words spouted in the fifth ending- or maybe he was just lashing out. He did say he loved him after all. I definitely think it's something in between- kinda like how you can read minds, but thoughts and feelings are not so simple eh? ;)
Speaking of the fifth ending, I liked the incorporation of the shakes- really added to the atmosphere. I think I would have preferred some suspenseful music for the scene, but the silence with the shakes works very well as well. Overall, I really liked it :)
