I anticipated this game a lot, followed the development closely and I played it within the first week of its release.
I find the setting and the concept fascinating, mental illness in ancient times. The representation felt empowering and also illuminating. Going through the story was a profound journey for me. There was one stage where everything is dark, and you have to guide yourself through sound, it blew my mind.
About the development, I liked the idea the studio had to make a highly polished game with realist art, but that was rather short for it to make sense for their team size. At the time there was a lot of importance in measuring the bucks per hour of a game, and I was very interested in games that didn't promise you endless hours, instead just a story that made sense.

Celeste is another game I decided I had to play because I had heard its music before, which apparently is a massive indicative for a good game. It is visually beautiful, very responsive and fun to control, I really loved it.
I played this game when we still had movility restrictions limited to the neighborhood, the christmas that everyone stayed at their own home. I wasn't as present on Discord as before, but after going on my phone to remind the people Iove that I do, Dani and I hoped in Discord and I believe this is one of the games we played.
I loved the depiction of mental health problems, the natural way in which Theo talks about it, and the sincere dialogue between Madeline and the other part of her. At first it sounds artificial, forced or cheesy, but after not a lot of thinking I realized it's just genuine talk.

I first played this game when I had a friend stay at my place for a weekend, we went out during the day and played this game into the ground during the night until 3 or 4 in the morning.
Since then I have played it with so many other people, I have probably beaten it 5 times by now. It is not a game for everyone, it can get frustrating and if you don't maintain your cool or don't know how to tread when others lose theirs, it can suck. But trusting you can maintain a fun enviroment and enjoying the challenge of comunication, it is an awesome game. Extra points when I play with other people who also worked on food service.
Very funny, very simple mechanics, yet extremely interesting challenges on each level.
