I usually never comment on games, but wow. The twist caught me so off guard.
(spoilers below)
The mom we meet in the intermission I assume has already been eaten by the MC's dad, which is why she's so depressed. I thought that our MC's species were cannibals or smth but now I think when we "eat their hearts" we are just breaking them (making the person depressed) and thats sorta like our food. Anyway, I love the game.
