I'm speechless. This game struck me to my core, and I don't even know how to articulate my feelings. The pacing was incredible. I wanted to learn more about what was happening. By the end, you could piece together most of the truth, but hearing it so directly was just so emotionally devastating. I also loved the formatting. It was a lot more visual novel than most rpgs which was definitely necessary to fully develop the story. But having to look through the character's childhood places really made the theme of remembrance and resurfacing stand out.
The shadow is still creeping behind her when she wakes up. It can't leave her, and moving won't fix it, but it's a start. She's filled with despair, and yet there's hope because she acknowledged the shadow. There's so much more I could say but I think it's best if I just let the story settle. Just...wow this was really good
