God, I'm not sure if reading this during a heatwave contributed to how off-kilter and nauseous I felt finishing this, but take it as a definite compliment that it left me feeling so affected! Read this on the strength of recommendations from friends, especially regarding the presentation and atmospheric elements, and man, they weren't kidding! I could feel the gnawing hopeless dread of the whole thing simmering under the false high of beautiful selfcest -- as soon as the title properly clicked for me I was very "ohhh!! oh no!!! giving yourself over fully to your id is never good, bestie!!" An absolute raw, open nerve of a game
