I'm destroyed in the best way. I read something awhile back that said many horror and tragedy authors don't understand that their stories are supposed to provide a "safe" fear, a "safe" sadness, a catharsis. this is a game that absolutely understands the function of its genre. in fact, I'd say it's a gold standard example of providing catharsis. I was invested, I felt fear and pain with the characters, but ultimately I am thoroughly satisfied.

this was the review that made me want to try this game, and now having just played through to credits for the first time, I can wholeheartedly agree.

Since everyone else has covered how great the story is... let me compliment the art and sound design! Delightfully unsettling. And I'm not just biased because I share a name with our unfortunate protag (though that definitely helped with the horror lol).
