~~It's been 84 years~~

All jokes aside, I'm so glad that I finally got a new PC Laptop to play this game!!! It's been on my backlog forever and I was really looking forward to playing it!!

Man, where do I even begin. The art is awesome, the music is very fitting and, god, the voice acting is SUPERB.

And don't even get me started about the writing!!! I came to this game almost completely blind. I only knew it was a yandere ghost but I did NOT expect that type of relationship between Geist and MC. It really was like a constant negative voice in your head telling you that you're worthless and many more lies coming from low self-confidence and anxiety... Which is much more terrifying and heartbreaking than I thought because, at the end of the day... our minds try to "protect us" by avoiding everything, sometimes.

"Avoid everyone and everything and you won't be hurt." Geist is really the personification of negative self-talk with the constant excuse that it all comes from a place of love when, it reality, it comes from a place of fear. Fear of rejection, bear of being embarrassed and shamed, fear of never being able to connect to another person in the way you want.

And when the MC starts to realize that... when they finally realize what's been happening all along... they stand up to Geist. They stand up to their fear, they confront it and decide to be brave and try. Yes, sometimes things won't go well for them, but that doesn't mean that everything will go badly ALL the time either.

I loved MC's relationship with Kalei because they truly complemented each other well, they had similar interests and they made each other feel energized and happy. Even after having some awkward interactions, when Kalei introduced them to their friends, things still ended up going well (cause yeah, sometimes you can have awkward interactions even with good friends!) and man jeksdbgkjb.

I just loved it so much, Chatt, it's an amazing game. I admit I haven't played the bad ending yet, 'cause I didn't want to give Geist the satisfaction of getting to me xD but I want to, sometime! The ending with Kalei was beautiful and I'm happy that he and MC got their happy ending <3

AHHHH PRI, CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW LAPTOP, I'm so flattered that you remembered and took the time to play 😭😭😭

I'm glad that you were pleasantly surprised by the "twist" (not really a twist, but you get what I mean) 🤣 I wasn't really sure how to describe this game, and I thought that it would probably be better if people went in blind, so I'm glad that they weren't disappointed by the ghost yan LOL I'm sure he's a lot less sexy and a lot more obnoxious than people expected...

"Geist is really the personification of negative self-talk with the constant excuse that it all comes from a place of love when, it reality, it comes from a place of fear" -> I couldn't put it better myself! That's exactly why I thought a gaslighting yan would be a perfect match for it 🤣 He gaslights you into believing you're less interesting and worthy than you actually are, but the truly insidious part is how he gaslights you into believing that it's for your own good.

I'm glad that you liked Kalei, he's one of my favorites, ngl 😭 I did want to convey that, even though Kalei himself is a really nice and easygoing guy, sometimes social interactions are just awkward 🤣 and things go wrong, and it happens. And you shouldn't be afraid of being more open because of what will happen, because even the worst thing is probably not as bad as you think!

Thank you again for playing, Pri 😭 and leaving such a long and thoughtful comment, you're too sweet! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😭😭😭 (and that's all right, Geist can languish in solitude 🤣🤣🤣)
