for some reason it won't launch
hmm...
not really the best place to tell me this but I'll explain myself anyway. I played the game a couple months ago and I was just going through games I've played leaving reviews. When I was talking about a warning I wasn't talking about the nsfw content or anything like that, I was talking about the sudden shift to gruesome horror that occurs near the end. The plot somewhat foreshadows it I guess but I feel like having something there is warranted given how different it is from the tone of the rest of the game and how easy it was to be lulled into a false sense of security. There might have been something added after I played, I plan on revisiting it soon and I'll update my review after that
There was warning about gore the first time you start the game and you forgot and got taken by surprise because that warning appears only once. You may call it "insufficient" but it was there and you were forced to read it to start playing.
Also yes this was the best to tell you this because I can't reply to ratings lol
Maybe I'm just being a special snowflake or something but I got taken by surprise because I actually sat down and played through the game for the first time a few weeks after I had first started it and I completely forgot about the warning. To be fair, a lot of what made me give the rating I gave was because I was going through a really rough series of events at the time and I was playing through the game expecting something that would help me keep my mind off of it, but I guess I tricked myself into downward spiraling by forgetting about the warning. After I finish playing through shelter again I'll definitely update my rating to at least 4 stars.
i still love the game though, playing through it again right now and I really love the new content, and the contrast in the story is a little less severe than I remembered. I also for some reason didn't understand the barkest corner achievement things or that the choices you've made are shown in red (maybe that was added in later?) until now so it's a lot easier to figure out what to do and I finally realized that I have to replay and unlock stuff and I wasn't just tricked into playing a game with only horrible endings
