This feels like the days of coming home from school and plugging in that new game you got blindly because a friend recommended it to you. You’re confused because nothing is making any sense and it didn’t come with a manual so you just explore. The more you explore the more apparent it is that something about this strange new game is wrong and there’s no way to fix it. Levels go on forever without any clear point and anomalies greet you around each screen, making you dread yet eagerly await every few pixels that load into your monitor as you walk through the nightmares. Then it dawns on you that’s exactly what this is…a nightmare. You realize this isn’t a game that’s been recommended to you out of excitement, in fact you can’t even recall who recommended it to you In the first place. The more you go through the game the more unsettling it becomes until you’ve played it for hours unsure if you are conscious or in fact dreaming this entire experience. There’s truly nothing else quite like this “game”.

The literal only thing that keeps me from coming back is that the set timers for day is hard on my anxiety but that isn’t the games fault that’s just how I am. It’s hard to relax for me with that but outside of that I’m absolutely in love with it. I love that I can still progress at my own pace and having one farm I’ve played bout 50 hours in and worn out most of the dialogue, I can do another play through focusing on just farming and such. It’s awesome

Lol this game destroyed me from the inside out, no promise it’ll do that to everyone but if that’s what happens when you play something that touches on trauma you’ve gone through. Speaking of that, this game handles trauma in an incredibly mature and careful way that can only be told in a game. It does have flaws it isn’t perfect but no game is. Genuinely a masterpiece. I’m happy to have experienced it
