Hey, not a problem. Keep up the amazing work, guys!!!

I've never actually written a review on a game before, but this one moved me so much I just had to express how this game made me feel.

SPOILERS

I played the demo a few months back and was shocked at the realism that La Vie en Rose offered. Fortunately, I've never had to experience a toxic relationship, but based on all the PSAs and things that school guidance counselors talked about time and time again, the abuse in this game is super freaking realistic. And that wowed me.

This game dared to talk about subjects that are so often ignored by society, as if abusive relationships are a taboo that are never to be mentioned. We only ever talk about happily ever afters. This game, however, showed just how scary an unhappy relationship can be.

I think one of the best aspects of this game is being able to play as the abused or the abuser. In trying to get every possible ending, it emotionally pained me to make the abusive choices. I was getting upset over fictional characters, worrying about hurting them.

The full game has just been released and I'm super glad I had the opportunity to see how all the choices I had made in the demo would play out. I've got to say, my favorite ending is when Issac recognizes he's a toxic person and he and Elijah both get help. It proves that people, no matter what they've done, can change their heart and mindset if they are willing to acknowledge their bad sides.

I'm super glad I got to experience this game. I found myself gritting my teeth and feeling the pain that the characters felt in the moment. I felt like I was there. I love this game, not because it's necessarily fun, but because it's important. There are thousands of visual novels out there, but very few have actually gotten me this invested.

So thank you, Abyss Team. You've created nothing short of a masterpiece. Sorry for the entire essay of a review, but you guys deserve it.
