this was a fantastic game! i played this with a friend over a voice call that ended up lasting 6 hours because we read and voice acted every line together and got really into it. my voice hurt by the end but it was so worth it. SPOILERS

The third act was super cathartic to read through and i loved all the blood and gore personally, it was so peak. My friend and I did ostensibly understand that the ending wasn't intended to be satisfying but we both came out of it reading Lilia's regretful narration and thinking "skill issue" LOL. Not a slight against the writing at all though, i can see from the numerous other reviews that it definitely affected many others the way you wanted it to. Maybe it's because I had a similar experience a long time ago in which my bubbling anger/resentment boiled over and i lashed out violently, except i never once regretted it even after facing severe consequences for my actions ...maybe that says something about me that i should unpack 😭 All that aside, this was an extremely visceral experience we both enjoyed immensely, we're definitely going to be checking out the malviolence series together sometime soon!
