i played (don't) open your eyes all the way back in 2022, and recently decided to replay it for nostalgia's sake. safe to say im even more obsessed with the creature now, and not just from a monsterfucker perspective lmao. i don't think i can properly describe how much this game tugs at my heartstrings without writing an entire literary analysis essay and dissecting just about every aspect of this game. it's reached the point where i'm genuinely considering making a fanmade sequel of this in the distant future. someday. maybe.
the mark this visual novel left on my core will forever remain with me <3
