This game broke me apart and put me back together again.

I initially wrote a much longer review, but it was confusing and bad, and I think the story speaks for itself better than I can. I'll try to keep my feelings as short as I can. Mild spoiler warning.

I feel for Cameron, and I want him to be happy. I know how hard it can be to struggle with long term mental illness and disability. I struggle with both. Most of my friends struggle with either or both.

The worst part is the alienation that comes from trying to look "almost normal" to other people, even your loved ones. It's never quite enough. Cameron worries about being enough for Dev even though he's "crazy," and it breaks my heart.

Seeing Cam and Dev fight like hell for their future together was so important to me. Even if everything will be different - harder - than it used to be, it's still worth fighting for.

You may never go back to who you used to be. But you have to move forward, because for all the bad days you fight through, you can still have days that are almost normal. And they're still worth living for. You're still worth fighting for. Almost normal is enough.

In the best way possible, this game is a punch to the jaw. Desperate, raw, and horny?

It has moments where it's a little awkward, but the sincerity behind it more than makes up for it. It's been a long time since I've seen something so unfiltered, and unless BoringKeith makes a sequel in another month (this game was made in a month?!) I bet it'll be a short while until I see something this raw again.

This story will haunt me for a very long time, and I'm truly grateful for it. I'm so excited to see what Keith does next, whatever it might end up being.

A hidden gem! The sprite work is charming, and the little animations help sell the scenes despite how low-res their little faces are. The dialogue is really well-written and natural, and each character has their own voice. Everyone's also emotionally grounded in a way that makes it easy to care about them. (Gunnar and Oberon are my favorites.)

I can't wait to see where you go with this!
