Wow, okay... This game really moved me, I'm a bit slow after all English isn't my mother tongue so I spent 3 days focused on this game, and I don't regret it one bit. I felt so many sensations playing Dead Wishes, sometimes I even wanted to cry (some triggers in the route of our dear Festus) But really, this game is incredible, how the characters have a connection, how the story connects exactly like a spider's web, everything makes sense!!!
(spoilers!)
I kept thinking at certain points on Festus' route, the children were obviously the same children that Mateo looked after, besides there was a drawing on the wall that Anise had red eyes (others that she had blue eyes) MY BRAIN EXPLODED cuz to me it means that the children knew who she really was, just as I think Festus did too. All I know is that I finished the game feeling smarter for having understood the whole story and the purpose of "Anise", it was simply incredible.
The worst thing was getting attached to the characters and seeing that they all suffered in life and also suffer in death, with no respite. Especially with Festus and Clement, they're my golden boys <3 But I also feel very bad for Mateo and Lucien, Mateo was obviously being controlled and used, while Luci wanted power, to control and use people because of everything he'd been through, it was so disgusting that it gave me agony, it makes sense that he's so fucked up, poor thing.
BUT I loved this game, good job really! I can't wait for future games from you.
