SPOILERS - do not read until you play the game !
LOVE LOVE LOVE the atmosphere, art, story, and sound design of this game - especially as someone who lives in a secluded travel trailer "alternative community" and loves opossums, this is sooo cute and just the right amount of horror to perfect the creepiness and the relatability of the people involved in the story.
I get a lot from this game, an interesting perspective on grief, loss, abuse, cult dynamics, and the damaged souls "too resistant" or "too stubborn" to be lured into cult
I think the choice of oppossums for the creature is beautiful - an animal that only lives 1-3 years, has no defense mechanism other than to play dead, and wears a white "mask of death." It's a short, mostly peaceful life scavenging from carcasses and rot, perhaps symbolizing the recycling of pain, grief, and death that these folks were unable to contend with in life.
