What an incredible read. So beautiful, so intense, so funny. TF141 made me laugh so much. Being older now (I'm middle aged) I empathize so much with all the young characters trying to find themselves. Not that I didn't empathize when I was younger but I can look back on the chaos now 20 years ago and it's really just unbelievably chaotic. Being young and being unable to handle the dysfunctional world around you and reacting so much. I have empathy for Gestirn, I've worked with people like that in mental health settings and they're incredibly mentally ill and in pain. It's sad. Unfortunately people like that also get rewarded for that kind of sick thinking far too often. But the pain of youth is so real, and layered on that the pain of rejection and violence and oppression experienced in particular by queer youth is so intense.
It was just really such a beautiful exploration of youth and identity. Just incredibly well written. Absolutely one of my fav games of the year. Gonna recommend it to a lotta people. Amazing job and thanks so much for writing it. Also love the new audio additions, really gives it an added layer that elevates it.
