I'm not sure I can describe my experience with anonymous agony. It is possibly the closest thing to a cursed game I have ever played.

The friend who I played this with and I managed to fully sequence break several times, break multiple quests, softlock ourselves at least twice and yet the game just kept on going. At one point after sleeping in the bed, every cutscene in the game played in sequential order for over 20 minutes before unceremoniously dumping us back in hazes room. How the fuck does that even happen in a game? I can't understand how the game could be coded to facilitate that AND still keep going afterwards.

At one point we made a joke about how it hadn't crashed in a while and it immediately crashed in the next area. Was the game laughing at us? Is anonymous agony a seven hour joke I'm just not in on?

The final straw was when we managed to haul our way to the final cutscene only for it to break because the audio files had been incorrectly named. We had to go into the games files and individually rename them to complete it.

After playing this fucking Entity of a game for seven hours, would I recommend it? Yeah (ye, ye), actually. It's sort of like watching a car crash happen in real time and I'd be lying if it wasn't entertaining. Maybe just don't stick out until the end.
