About time I reviewed this game. I'll start off by saying I played this during a pretty bad existential crisis, so that might have affected my view of the game as a whole.

It was a really hard game to get through. Not because it was necessarily hard or anything, but because it actually made me feel dread everytime I had to make a decision as simple as going to sleep. It tackles extremely dark themes, but does so with humor; while still taking itself seriously. I'm not the biggest fan of the ost or overall aesthetic but I'd be lying if I said it didn't fit the narrative perfectly.

That aside, I do think this game is a masterpiece in storytelling and world-building, but it lowkey traumatized me cus of how vulnerable I felt during my first playthrough. My only real complaint is how some people of color literally looked like a racist stereotype from way back in the day. I know they changed most of it in the re-release, but common... I'm sorry if I sound like an asshole for pointing things out but it did make me slightly uncomfortable when a black character had red lips, had stereotypical tribe music playing in the background, or had headgear with feathers attatched. (I know many white characters were given the same treatment but it still bothered me considering these were racist stereotypes even in the late 20th century). Anyway, great game, don't know if I'll replay.
