Rainjoke is a room and you the voyeur of its world, tasked with stepping away or looking within to step inside.
This VN wields its abstractions incredibly well, capturing the depths of loneliness, of pain and expectation never asked for yet imposed, and shares it with the visceral honesty and tenderness of loving reality, warts and all.
Its story is somber, vulnerable, cute, horny, terrifying, heartbreaking, so on, but above all else it is unabashedly genuine.
Despite the severe isolation core to its story, it has made the abused, messy parts of me feel like they're not alone.
