holy cow i cried UNIRONICALLY I CRIED. this was such a great great game. absolutely beautiful. the writing, the soundtrack, the art. the suspense, the plot, THE TWIST IS CRAZYYYY. leaves such a bittersweet ending though. like yeah, obv no revival. very true, raw. no survival, but at least justice. but at the same time it doesnt change that mc and doe were stripped of everything they had by one awful bastard sucker mf. like its not supposed to be a gooood ending, but a conclusion to a story? not saying i dont like it, BUT ITS SO RAW AND IDK HURTS SM..... spoilers below!
i especially felt so...fucking sad when ethan's funeral was held. the poor guy. idk why its just. the way the writing did it. lowering his body. no one coming to his funeral. wtf did my poor guy do!!!!! someone mourn him!!!! this is heartbreaking. genuinely. I CRIEDDDDD. ethan is such a sweetie. i hope jude rots in hell disrespectfully <3333 idk how to explain everything i felt. the writing is brilliant. again this game hurt me, but oh what delicious pain that was. idk why, probably because of knowledge that ethan will never be brought back, mc will never be brought back, their bodies are cold, unfeeling, rotting and very much dead. and the fact that ethans body wasnt even searched for. because jude was his only fucking friend AND HE KILLED HIM. heartbreaking. my boy ethan deserved better. well, at least he and mc can have dates now. and fuck up judes life in prison. and much more. live...eh be dead? be a spirit?...laugh love ethan. fucking kill jude and also punch him in the face million times. god this game is phenomenal. I CRIED. UGH. this is so sad. the definition of bittersweet. masterpiece. wonderful. tysm. love.
and as others said for how brilliant this game is, i really do wonder what were his intentios for killing the mc? spoilers below
there was a phantasm bit where it was written that he did love mc? but he'd pretend he didn't so he doesnt have to think about it? i wonder if it was because jude was wearing ethan's "mask" and it was more of a throwback to ethan?....
i think the reason he killed the mc is because she stayed up late and he was afraid she was snooping around? maybe he wanted to throw out the ids, but forgot about it because of adrenaline rush? also he did kiss the mc's corpse....yikes.
god i cant expressenough how much i loved this. THE TEARS!!! THE TEARS!!! loved it. never playing again. my heart is way too weak. its wonderful. amazing story. cant express enough the feeeeeelings it made me feel. the bittersweet tone. the endings. the justice ending. bro i want to cry because like. you cant bring doe's and mc's lives back. they're dead for sure. and their murderer was brought to justice, sure. but still. i think its because of how real the story is actually. the raw reality of cold blood murder, that some people just arent searched for sometimes. the ignorance of police. the tone, the atmosphere, THE MUSIC. the music added SO MUCH. SO MUCH. bless everyone who worked on this i hate you lovingly why did you make me go through such emotions/jjjjj
maybe im oversensitive but alas maybe im the target audience. god i love it sm.
