(tradução: história e personagens cativantes, um final INCRÍVEL, violência criativa - ou seja você probs não vai morrer num assalto aqui, vai ser algo muito mais inusitado e pior -, kin absurdo na ophelia a ponto de que meu nome já foi esse, a ost é chata mas cumpre seu papel, principalmente nas partes tensas. eu adoro que tecnicamente tem good ending em toda rota mas na prática isso não quer dizer porra nenhuma, tu pode estar com todos os membros cortados e dissociando. os títulos dos finais estão disponíveis antes de tu alcançar eles, o que te deixa pensando um pouco no que diabos "rotten to the core" quer dizer. o único defeito nesse jogo que me incomoda é que não existe walkthrough pra entrar nas rotas e nem muita lógica nisso, então vai te ocupar um tempo. ah, e claro, tem uns 5385 gatilhos então por favor tenha cuidado.)

i love this game so much. i would absolutely not recommend anyone play this game without looking at the content warnings first.
dead wishes takes an interesting concept and absolutely delivers on it, theres some routes that feel underdeveloped but there wasnt a single one that didnt capture my interest in terms of both the overall story as well as the characters. theres a generous amount of routes and endings, more than youd usually expect for sure. the tone can vary quite a bit between routes and its written in a way that makes that a strength to the game and not a weakness, though it does mean youll probably find some routes less compelling than others. the player character makes choices that make sense for each route and you can see their personality adapt to their circumstances. the art and the music are both good, the amount of choices you can make and how much they affect the story feels very satisfying and immersive. the writing itself is what saves this from feeling like 'misery porn' and makes it so enjoyable that youll want to experience every route.
for negatives, the ending felt a bit weak to me, like it couldve been expanded on in some way but i did still really like it, and as i mentioned above it does have a feeling or 2 or so routes having less attention paid to them than to the others.
if you dont like feeling miserable this game isnt for you, 5/5
