god. this game made me sick. i felt seen in ways that made me viscerally uncomfortable in the best worst way and i simultaneously loathe and absolutely fucking love these characters with all of my heart because they remind me of myself in the worst worst ways and it's awfully comforting but also just awful. such a raw showcase of the horror of this world and the people being endlessly fucked by those horrors, circumstantial or self-inflicted, controlled or not, just horrible things happening to horrible people in a horrible world. displayed in a way that somewhat inspired me. just like,. made me so intensely and deeply want to love and appreciate everyone in my life as much as i possibly can. this game made my tummy ache and it made me cry a lot. ugh.
such is life.
