Spoilers for Clyde's route since I just finished it :')
Wow! I honestly didn't expect that ending, though I probably should've. I'm so used to the "I can fix them" ending where the MC somehow DOES fix their love interest despite everything that is clearly wrong with them. This ending was a breath of fresh air for me. Sure, Clyde did improve in some ways, but he also didn't do a complete 180 on the life he was already living, and I really liked that.
I also really love that the MC's actions are treated as their own as well, rather than something that Clyde somehow made them do. Hank being unable to forgive us for accidentally causing his mom trouble, Rebecca not buying into our excuses about not meaning to hurt other people, even Bonnie being hesitant to let us stay at her place because of how badly we fucked up. Simultaneously, it was nice to have Oliver in our corner to just relax with after everything went down.. but I guess he of all people would understand how volatile being around Clyde can be.
Clyde as a character is also very relatable to me, which is why I think he was my first choice to romance. I get that feeling of just wanting to keep being in the spotlight, to keep running faster and faster towards danger even though you know you'll end up seriously hurt or worse. It's hard to stop when you don't know any other way to be, and Clyde is a perfect example of that. He is relatable, but also worse than I have ever been. Somehow, that terrifies and reassures me in equal measure.
In my head MC and Clyde absolutely do go back to BC and apologize to everybody, especially Hank's family and Reb. And we give Oliver a big big squeeze because he is my absolute favorite ever. Everybody should have a friend like Oliver <3
1000/10 game, now it's time for me to play the other routes :3
