I was really frustrated with the dialogue choices, esp because they're kinda stereotypical (maybe I'm too caught up on the details, but confession isn't really like this. At least not for post-Vatican II Catholics.)

ANYWAY, when it got to the "what do you want if not to be better" dialogue, I was like "YES!!! THAT!!!!!" Because it's not about being better but seeing you're loved exactly as you are. I don't want to be "better", I want to belong, be loved. That part made whoever's confessing so relatable.

I could go on forever about this, but I'll stop while I'm ahead lol.

hello! thank u for your comment! it came as a nice surprise and i found your thoughts interesting mostly because i agree with your sentiment.

as a Catholic myself, i'm aware that confessions don't exactly go like this lol. i think when i wrote this a few years ago i was slightly bitter about the Church, so i wrote a very stereotypical priest on purpose. but i also didn't think it would be picked apart much. the priest and their mindset needed to be someone that even non-Catholics might be able to understand.

IN ANY CASE, im glad u enjoyed the "what do u want if not to be better" dialogue because that whole piece of their conversation is the entire essence of the character and confessor, Masa. and i made the game with the intent of exploring him and his mindset.

thank you again very much for your comment and analysis!
