Every now and then you find the indie game that you cannot stop talking about and that stays with you completely. The horror elements felt absolutely masterfully crafted I knew what I signed up for when I started playing the game but the hair on the back of my neck was on END when you're in the cinema and try to get home and everyone is just staring at you my god.

This being a metaphor for abuse absolutely blew me away. I kept playing and playing every horrible end, in the beginning it felt like maybe the cat doesn't know maybe it's adjusting to our world and when it became clear the cat absolutely does know what its doing to you, I kept searching for redemption in it. Having been in a 5 year abusive relationship, the cyclical looking for positives only to be hurt again felt very fresh and raw and so incredibly captured in this format. I'm doing a creative writing degree, and I hope to keep this as an inspiration point for how story can be told and played with and how to properly understand your genre and tropes while still being unique and innovative.
