I love this game, i truly do, but i have NEVER hated characters so fucking much in a story. Like, OH MY GOD, Sebastian is a fucking delusional psycho that has ZERO respect for you and ZERO shame for what he does. Quinn is fucking dumb, and always convinces the mc that Sebastian "isn't that bad". Brandon, well, it's common sense why he's bad(still better than Sebastian tho, he actually respects you, even if Very little). The only one that's even a little decent is Julian, and even that I'm not certain actually, since I haven't finished his route. I won't even talk about how dumb the mc is oml.

Overall, this game is really good, AND it has a lot of endings and content, which is always good! It really shows me that yanderes really shouldn't be romanticized lmao.

I get trying to experience fantasy that wouldn’t necessarily be a good idea in real life, but I struggle to understand why yandere is so popular.

I agree entirely that yandere shouldn’t be romanticized, but it seems to be the only thing available if you’re female, like men, and want adult (not necessarily even sex, just more grown up) content.

It makes me sad that I have to consume content with only unhealthy/abusive relationships, but it’s that or nothing.

I actually really liked Julian in the demo. He reminded me of people I’ve known who seemed really spiky on the outside, but are actually good people who have become treasured friends. So Arewar’s comment below is deeply unsettling. :(

Having said that, Particles of Reality is great as psychological horror, just not as romance.

I’ll straight up say this for any future readers: If you are not a yandere AND horror fan, do not buy Obsession. This will not be a pleasant experience. The demo is a full representation of what you should expect from ALL OF THE CHARACTERS regardless of your initial impression.

NONE of the characters in this game are ‘treasured friends’. Not even the girls. They are all very bad, insane people. That is the full intention.

Julian is arguably one of the WORST, not the best. (I have since realized I should have ‘cracked’ the masks of Julian and Alexander a lot more early on in the game. My first game, lessons learned!) Julian’s mask is “I am a sane, normal man and my life depends on you believing that complete lie.”

The “safest” (and I say this with HEAVY sarcastic quotes) characters are going to be Quinn and Alexander’s DLC. And I define ‘safest’ as the ones who traumatize the MC the least.

Obsession is 80% horror and 20% romance for crazy yandere lovers. 0% healthy. 0% happy.

Remembrance will (probably, current estimation) be like 60%/40% of the same ratio.

Thank you for the clarification. Now I’m even sadder, but this is good to know.
