Fuck... I just finished the latest build and I am shaken. The way this game plays with agency and anger and curiosity have me hooked like I haven't been since first diving into Howly's work. And the big twist right before the end?!?! FUCK. And it's crazy, because I feel like I absolutely should have seen it coming, but it just hit me like a truck! This is all going to seriously impact how I write my own horror in the future.
And it's insane, I understand some of the motivations way more than I would have initially expected. That burning curiosity. That insatiable desire, that desperate need to know. Added to playing on my personal fears around powerlessness and it's just the best feeling of my brain being turned to soup in obsession I've had in a long time
