Pretty heavy and complicated and I do like how this does explore options with coming out where it's invariably difficult and just navigating around situations where things are not understood, precisely contextualised and I guess the sort of messiness that exists with situations both interpersonally and with regards to understanding yourself. It's just yeah, something about queerness is that it is one of those things that can become a bit strange in terms of how it exists with both societal and self-inhibition and the perplexing nature of dealing with those elements, and I guess this game does really showcase those feelings in a very concise way but also where there's a deep personal element behind it all. It's seldom static but something that exists as an unravelling process of sorts that can be about as anguishing as it is relieving to come to grips with yourself. Harrowing is probably a good way to describe the whole process - but also I guess how it parallels itself with the temptation to numb and inhibit or not express your emotions and so forth. This was cathartic to play when I played it.
