Honestly, this is a warning to anyone wanting to read this story. I was so engrossed in it, I think I've gone a little insane for a while, like actually slightly psychotic.

Granted, I've been under huge pressure from other things at the same time, but this story.. I could never have imagined the impact.

I'm not used to having feelings for guys, being bi and never really explored this side of myself outside some alcohol fueled nights. Now I've explored this side of myself through this story, and I'm left having lost touch with reality a bit. What have you done to me? Just to put things into context I'm 34, and honestly never expected to be this affected by a story.

Totally baffled, and obviously a huge hats off the the creators, but fair warning - it really is true when people say that this story isn't for the faint of heart.

Ikr? One of the bests VN's I ever played, if it's not the best.

Happened to me too! I was trying to imagine what Sams voice sounds like in Chase's head, and now I hear him telling me things!!!!

I'm just two years younger then you, I thought I could handle whatever this vn had in it, and the horror isn't too bad it's those ending that keep me up a night!

Yeah, anyone new who wants to try it, take the warning seriously please!

It's not even funny anymore! It's these characters, man. You come to care about them so much, and then it all ends in tears. And for me, it's also the intense yearning to get to know them IRL, which is obviously impossible, creating some sort of mini disassociative psychosis. Holy shit man - and from a f...... VN. No doubt I am a very sensitive person, which I guess you'd have to be, to get hit so hard by this.

Even now, I want to go back and read more, but I have to stop. I'm starting a new job in less than two weeks, and I feel like I damn near had some sort of breakdown. THAT'S how much this story affects you. Or at least me.. I've actually become fearful of reading other stories now. HAH! It's patheticly, morbidly funny, when it isn't happening to YOU!

Oh, is Sam the voice that speaks to Chase? I guess I missed something, but it's up for interpretation if it's some sort of demonic version of the characters themselves, which is part of their personality, or if it's something else entirely. Spooky. Are you seriously hearing a voice in your head? If that's the case, then that's really scary. If it continues, please talk to someone about it, no matter how silly it may feel.

Yeah, it really is well written. Maybe too well?

I think in Tj's or Flynn's rout (I forgot) it is heavily implied that the voice is Sam as it mentions things only he would know!

I heard it for just one day yesterday, nothing today so I think I'm good.

Ok I didn't really do Flynns route, tried, but I thought he was too much of an asshole. I've only done TJ's, and Leo's route. If I ever feel like having another mental break, I'll come back and check it out.

I think the whole point of Flynn's route is to cause people mental breakdowns! The most horrific ending out of all of them....

I started with Flynns route and I am honestly heartbroken. As a character he was so damaged and deserved better. Having not done the other routes yet I was kinda rooting for Chase and him but after the ending I am just numb

Yeah he had been harboring doubt and grief about the death of his friend for years! The only way I can imagine a good outcome for him is if he lets go of it! I don't think things would end well if he discovered the truth!
