Some other random thoughts on the game
I think overall it was pretty dark. Don't know if it was "dark" or just psychological, but I would classify it as "dark"
That window ending where she just dies in her bed (the image file is called sleepdead.png or something like that) and the sinister music box soundtrack playing, left a really strong impression on me. That was kind of a horror-ish/supernatural element that she actually died just like that. Idk it just left a strong impression on me how she wanted to escape so bad from her life, her desire to do that was so strong that she just straight up died. She was like taken by the dreams or something. I don't really remember but I think it was different from the suicide ending, I think here she just falls into her dreams or something supernatural like that. Don't take my word as I read this 2 years ago. Or maybe it is just like some symbolism/allegory for suicide or subtance abuse.
And also the other dark thing, if you think about it Emily's level of escapism is really hardcore insane. Like some people do drugs, but, Emily literally has her own dream family in her mind that she likes more than her real family. It's like, she doesn't just want to escape, she wants to escape into a life that is pretty and perfect and the exact opposite of her reality.
