I 100%d this game.
its bad. it fails spectacularly at having good gameplay, good writing, and conveying its story competently.
the story gets so lost within itself, that it really only has one scene to drive home what it's about: the effects that middle class mediocrity.
That one scene, the monologue when he enters the soul space, was genuinely very well done.
"I didn't realize how much I had and how little I had done to earn it. But now that there's nothing here, I realize-- I realize what a little shit i was."
"You're now face to face with God. You can ask him any question and all you ask is what's for dinner."
"There's no use beating myself up. Is there? I don't even know any more. 'Don't be so hard on yourself.' This is what my mother said to me whenever I made a mistake. But was this the mantra I really should have adopted? Maybe I should be hard on myself. Maybe I'm a failure. Maybe acknowledging your mistakes makes you not a little shit."
i genuinely believe that this game deserves the second chance that i.v will give it. i also genuinely believe that 1.0 is worth preserving. 1.25 is whatever tier, the new alpaca is too out of place, and the balance changes only make the game easier than it already was (minus the lp toss glitch)
