As someone who read lots of stories, I can say without a doubt that this game puts me in my feelings so quickly it makes my head spin. I don't think I've ever related to a character or projected myself so heavily before this game. It both breaks my heart and gives me hope, so you are definitely not alone in the feels lol
Any game that can get you thinking like this one does is worthy of all the praise in the world, it's hard to portray such relatable characters but they've hit the nail on the head, imo
