I know how dramatic it is to say that this brought tears to my eyes but I was just not expecting this level of depth and storytelling when scrolling through the yandere tag. My mind is often consumed with questions about the universe and people like how do we develop empathy or what grounds us to this world and each other. In this game this is a theme that is explored deeply as Ray struggles to find something to hold onto and preserve his humanity. I truly believe that at some point in our lives we all struggle to find purpose in life or reason to care for others. It is something ingrained in us from the time we are born, its something we all know but to understand it is something one is required to do on their own, something Ray was not given an opportunity to do.
I could talk about Ray alone for hours but still I feel it needs to be said how human ever character is made to feel. Miles, Haley, even Double. I think that is what I look for most in a game, I want to feel the humanity of it, the thoughts and hopes that became lines of code and brush strokes and I can say without a doubt that's what this game is.
This was a bit of a garble of thoughts cause I'm tired but uh I really liked the game <3
