Okay. Y'know what?
I clicked on this game fully expecting it to be plotless smut. (Which, fair, honestly. I love pointless smut as much as the next person, or I wouldn't have clicked this.)
Oh my god, was I pleasantly surprised.
This game feels so genuine and handles being trans so tactfully and realistically. I wasn't expecting to play a game today so accurately describing the tentativeness of those first moments of gender dysphoria, but god am I glad it happened.
I just needed to say that, lol. I look forward to whatever comes next for this game!
oh. my god.(SPOILER WARNING.) (srsly play this game blind)
Psychological horror is my lifeblood, and you have no idea how long I've been looking for more to play. It's a fragile genre to get right, and so many people these days rely on the "horror" part, (jumpscares, tropes, the general feeling of unease throughout the game that makes it hard to focus on the story...) and forget the "psychological aspect.
The difference between horror and psychological horror has always been the depth. Just how far are the creators of this game willing to lean into the surreal, nonsensical nature of the human psyche and weave it into a coherent tale? A tale that makes the player feel not just fear, but anguish too.
I was absorbed in this game. In it's story, in it's characters. Even when I couldn't understand fully what was happening. Especially when I couldn't understand fully what was happening. I still don't know what kind of assassin the driver is or what the nature of the hiker's powers are, but I think confusion is an important part of psychological horror too.
This story goes from casual to frantic to defeated and determined and I don't know if they get their better ending in "Nurture," but the mere fact it's labelled "ending 0" tells me the story doesn't end there, even if we stop seeing it. And that's catharsis in a way true psychological horror always should be.

I fully just created an itch account so I could tell you how much I love this.
Plot? perfect. Political undertones? Mwah. The option to make it so my character DOESN'T have all their shit together? Exquisite. I love being able to be on the verge of a mental breakdown instead of being the glorified hero who's always fine.
Arden is incredible exactly the kind of best friend I need in real life. Blane and Kian are SO interesting and I'm looking forward to getting them to warm up to me more :) Rylan is the fuckin GOAT I love her sm
