So I am going to be completely honest, I completely hated the MC due to him being all weird about how he acts. Like, I do understand part of it because that is how we are, but him associating every little thing to a fake persona was pissing me off. Then the said scene happens, I 100% feel like the scene is not only needed, but very well made in the writing sense of things. It's not like it was long and it was mainly focused on the fact that the MC was completely torn from what he saw, which actually makes me understand why his personality is like that because I also do act like that sometimes. But I don't understand the negative comments. If you went through something like that years ago and you are affected by the scene, sorry for being blunt but you are just stupidly stuck in the past and I do recommend getting mental help because the only option if you get altered from a scene in a GAME.
To complete my point, if what you people want is an MC that is roughly made and unfinished because you are too delicate and babies to play through a scene that doesn't affect you in any way (with the exception of people that may have gone through something similar), then go to another game or just go watch Cocomelon because you are criticizing not just the work of someone, but also the many hours that they dedicated of their life (which, just to remind you all, we don't get back) to make for other people to enjoy and pass their time. Unless you actually make games like this or even better, I don't feel like anyone has the right to give such negative comments when they are not with the purpose of making the dev improve. If you seriously are criticizing just to be seen, then just get an actual life or something.
And for the people that were cheated on, Unless it happened, and this being generous, a year and a half ago, you should not be that sensitive (this is said from experience) so like get help.
