This is a game that I should hate. It's humor is just lazy "offensive" jokes that never lands. Its buggy and scuffed to hell. And looks like someone threw up on a 3d modeling program. But by god do I love playing this game and indulging in its dumb fun. As the postal dude himself said,
"This can't be good for me, but I feel great!"

I'm in love with the aesthetic and the game was one of the best rouge-likes I've played, all though a little too easy for my taste (up until the Aries fight).
Sadly had to abandon the game when I got to the Aries fight, the mechanic with the token of violence was infuriating and made me leave the game. It's just a gamble of shitty rng, spent about 20 runs trying to fight Aries and I never even got to fight him as I only got the token of violence on three of those runs (And I died on all of them as I spent almost all my hearts trying to get the token). Maybe I'm just unlucky but I had to drop the game when I got to that point.

Well worth the wait. This game is a punch in the gut and a half. With a compelling story that had me playing this game for hours straight, and also crying for a few more.
The gameplay isn't too in depth, and that doesn't scale well with the harder parts of the game. Feeling like they wanted you to be super engaged and strategizing with the battle when the battle system is very rudimentary.
And although the game presents itself as a psychological horror, the horror is rarely present unless you are doing the Hikikomori route. Which to me at least was a bit disappointing and made the full on horror segments feel a bit weird and kind of out of place at times.
Despite this though, the game is absolutely amazing and still holds up as my favorite game of all time.
