A super unflinching look at the ways the internet preys on our worst tendencies and regards the hurt it causes with apathy at best.

Both extremely funny and intensely threatening all at once, I really appreciate how real the whole game is, honestly. There were a lot of times where Ame's behavior in certain endings, while taken to an extreme in a lot of cases, very much made things feel like I was seeing myself from the outside in. I've never been in quite as dark a headspace as she gets into in places here, but I could very easily see my life veering in just as many self-destructive directions if things had turned out even a little differently. The writing here is extremely sharp, and while I'd definitely still play and likely enjoy a lighter version of this game's basic premise, I'm glad this is willing to explore territory this dark without holding back at all.

I loved it, a lot of it will stick with me for a very long time. Just go in knowing that things can get extremely, extremely heavy. There's a content warning at the start for a reason.
