OOOH THE WAY THIS TORE MY HEART UP INTO A THOUSAND TINY SHREDS.
from the moment alice said "not bad! we had mcdonalds for lunch" i knew this game was going to be a nostalgic gut punch of the best kind. i remember those days, where everything was better on a day you got mcdonalds and could play your little computer games. when grandma would buy you 500 coins for you to spend on stupid little upgrades in your homes and on silly outfits for your avatar. when the newest mini game felt like the greatest news in the world. in such a small time yet with so much heartfelt charm, this game delivers an incredibly bittersweet experience that perfectly captures those moments in time those of us of that era had in these online spaces with our friends, and how the darkness of our impending growing-up and the traumas we face within it looms within every corner of our otherwise lighthearted and brightly coloured worlds.
"i thought u never had nightmares, i thought that was ur thing"
"i think its part of growing up."
