Absolutely loved this game, and how it had the opposite of a cop-out ending. Kinda cried on every replay, but that was the point. First I stayed with Devin, since that's what I'd do in real life. I enjoyed her story development. Afterwards, I felt immensely guilty once I went down the August and Reese routes (also the point, I know). Especially after August said he knew I'd pick him, or when I found out Reese was actually all alone and their parents were out of state. Then again, they didn't guilt-trip one bit over text, which is much less than I could say for any of my past "friends." Maybe that's why Reese's story also hurt the most. It's not just that they're just like me, black, enby, AFAB, or worse glasses. It's the fact that the way they moved through life hit way too close to home. (Just like the asteroid lmao.) Hell, earlier today I was wishing that the sun would just explode already so I wouldn't have to go back to school in-person and see the abusers I once though were friends. No wonder I'm nearsighted if I couldn't tell for years. Seriously though, if I still had one of those old "friends" in contact, I'd spend my last day the exact same way, except they'd never ask if I was okay. I probably really needed to see this game after all, so thanks for the rep.
