I've had this as something I've wanted to play for years, never really finding the right time of my life until now and god, I am so glad I finally pulled the trigger. I am SO fucking in love with this game. Charming, engaging, painful, spooky, it's everything anyone could ever want out of an rpg and more! I love the mechanics, the characters, the aesthetics and vibes...I was delighted to meet every new enemy and explore every new and horrible location and god the music!!!! I was grooving the whole time! And the combat got me amped as hell, there's something so satisfying about working out the perfect way to smash any enemy comp that never got old, as a fan of smashing shit with a baseball bat IRL it felt particularly good playing around with those mechanics and making them truly monstrous free damage haha. A magical bit of art to experience at a time of my life where burnout with work and adult responsibilities had me convinced I might really never enjoy a videogame again. I'll hold Daybreak and it's survivors in my heart for the rest of my life...and not just because I can now never be normal about Alicia and Miriam, sorry, sorry, their chemistry is too good, what if they had to be room-mates, what if they had to share a bed, what if they had to endure the friction of mundane living together as two very independent and willful women, what if they got so mad about it they kissed???????? These are thoughts that have kept me up at night, and will for many nights to come.
Thankyou so much for making this wonderful experience and thankyou for continuing to make things! Hopefully it will not take me four years to work up the right mindset to play the next one ehe. Truly an unforgettable and beautiful little ride.
