I think I'm not the target audience for this kind of game, to be honest. I have no nostalgia for PC-98 and its library, nor an affiliation with Ryona and it's various subgenres (or Macrogenres? I do not know where on the iceberg it lies). I had only discovered it happening upon Psychbomb's blog, and found a piece that happened to give a spoiler warning for this game. I cannot stand spoiling myself on something if that art or work is expected to be understood in the context of something else, and I am glad to have not done so.
I think what I left with is the internal struggle of thinking that you are broken, unsalvagable from yourself, and... here there's no clean solution to it. There is no ending where Jan respects you again, there is no way right now that Bao can cope with herself. That messiness, in tandem with the erotic honesty of our characters, is a story that feels gut-wrenchingly real. I didn't leave this game with a newfound fetish for cutting cute girls alive (sorry), but something a lot more abstract that I need to sit on for myself. Thank you
