added this to my "life-changing" collection because this is one of those games that will remain in my head until i die. it is so amazing. the art, the gameplay, the characters, the story, the emotional beats, the world-building and world-design, the themes, and the way it reflects on real-life ideas of friendship, family, morality, exploitation, oppression, class, capitalism, the climate crisis, and the human condition. this game is so beautiful in so many ways. every inch has so much character and charm, as well as horror. i felt so immersed in the story and i care so deeply for the characters. i love how complex and flawed but still sympathetic they are. i love how this game rips out your heart like with jin's death but also holds your hand comfortingly like with moku's friendships but also twists your intestines like with the rows and rows of test subjects connected to trees but also treats you to sweet bubbly drinks like with the silly jokes in the flavour text. idk if my winding ramblings make sense but im just trying to say this is a wonderful game and thank you so much faesu for making it and sharing it with us. it must have required an immense amount of work to complete. i also died so many times before i got all 5 endings lmao 😭although it was frustrating playing stuff over and over, haha, i love how the game pushes you. i think its cool that the game leads you to try things out, fail and try again. its a really important part of games that i often miss out on by being too sensitive to failure to persevere, but i love this game so much i pushed through every death.
