Insane, I couldn't look away. If you are reading this comment and haven't read Displacement of Water yet, stop and read it instead.
Not really sure where to begin, because it held my intruige through the entire span. The full-body search scene was what initially had me hooked, and I appreciated how it informed the rest. I also liked how it struck me that her looking into the toilet could be a parellel for the silver coin. Anyway, this game didn't miss a single beat. I can tell a lot of thought was put into all of the choices, from the visual design to the actual narrative choices, which is truly amazing for the span of time it was made in.
To be honest I thought the Angel would be annoying (I guess I have a bad experience with such 'sidekick' characters) but now I feel stupid for ever having thought that, as it ended up only adding to everything, and it even made me laugh out loud a few times. I also really appreciate where we left off with Sicil, how she felt down-to-earth, moreso as Harmonica continued to unravel through the loops. I liked when Sicil explained her perspective of the idea of 'debt.' I liked how Harmonica's anger manifested as soon as she wanted something else. I also liked the cheese/eggs drama (coffee too. . . breakfast drama?) and furthermore just the role that texture had in this story. And the stepmom?! Thank you, I love your work. Soooo yummy.
