This game is wonderful. Percy is bae. 

On a serious note...the PC felt real to me because I'm currently going through the same sort of thing. I really appreciated the message of hope (or so I played it). I also appreciated that by the end my character felt like me and acted in ways I'd act. Serendipity or just really good choice mechanic design? Who knows! But thanks for this timely experience- it really touched me.
