Tbh I never thought I could be so attached to a vn, but this one just hit me different than any others.
The whole reality change thing reminded me of shifting which was pretty popular back then in 2020-2023, the whole scenario of you being able to scape to another reality, run away from your own life, it just feels so good to be true, part of me being like literally destroyed after finishing Cedric’s route is bc I really get him, I really get the feeling of wanting to be somewhere else, even if that “new world” is not real, it feels much more real than “home”
Ughh I was so obsessed with shifting back then I could literally just try every single method every day, every week just to wake up somewhere else, this just hits differently.
Also Cedric’s problems with Kieran are just so well written that I could get every single part, I don’t want to say that I hated the ending they got but it could’ve been much more happier, and I think that’s the problem, the ending is just so real, very realistic it makes you feel sad, somewhere deep inside you, you want them to be happy and stay together but no, in the real world, things cannot be perfect, and we have to adapt and continue living even if it’s not what we want.
I want to say that I wanted to see more of them, more interactions, I consider that the game was pretty selective with the dialogues Cedric and Kieran had, they revealed a little bit of their past but nothing more than that, also we are not able to see what do they do after destroying Peregrine, we just have a time skip that leaves you pretty empty ☹️☹️
anyways I wanna say that this game has turned out to be one of my favorites ever, and Cedric is just too good to be true, I love him sm and I hope we can see more of him with Kieran in the future somehow with a extension of the game, a DLC or a new game just focused on them.
Hopefully I will recover soon from the kinda depression I feel rn after finishing it.
