I loved the art, the complex characters/portrayal of ADHD, and that the story did have something to say about the very real struggles of mental health and victimhood between a marginalized group of people. That being said, I didn’t like the story in it’s entirety due to the direction It takes but I enjoyed the experience overall.
story note
I didn’t like the ending and the parts that led up to it for how it flipped the narrative on its head (in my opinion). I’m not a story writer, but at the least I think the games(what I consider to be) third act could’ve been left on a more poignant and thought provoking conclusion if Lee hadn’t ended up murdering/torturing Brandon or done any kidnapping and it just be more so about Angel and Lee coming to terms with the state of their lives, growing and supporting each other in a healthier dynamic to develop a better sense self-actualization. I only say this because the characters are just so well written that that’s how I thought the story was going to lead into its ending. It was jarring and I’m sure that was the point- not to say I had a problem with the nature of it specifically- but I personally didn’t see those actions as constructive to the main themes of the story. It didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment.
