I'm glad I tired to play this game 5 times and pushed through navigating one of the worst overworld maps in the history of games to complete this game. Really truly moving, a slow burn of a story that is like boiling a frog because before you know it, you're in Reverse Hills and everything is going to hell in ways you never anticipated.

I really like the thesis of this game. I tripped into the Neutral route for my first playthru (I KNOW, wtf) and there is something so compelling about the final message of the game, about the impermanence of this "golden" ending, it was deeply effecting.

Half star deducted for that fucking overworld map. Another half star deducted for Purgatorium.
