Yknow there's a lot I could say about Psycholonials... and I will, it's overbaked tripe that angsts about the pains of being #cancelled, the millennial equivalent to a Netflix comedy special, but for what it's worth there's a lot of interesting stuff going on. As much as the story regards every not Abby/Zhen character as the equivalent of a cardboard cutout making literally any statement it has on leftism hard to take even half seriously, there is a certain catharsis in the violent revolutionary rage it espouses. Very very few stories will let its characters overturn their world's status quo, nevermind straight up burning the United States of America to the ground, and that's Dangerously Based. The music is kind of background filler often, but Now and Forever and Ephemeral Muse are BANGERS and deserve to be remembered as such.

No, the reason this game is a one star and not a three star is because somebody needs to get over to Andrew Hussie's house and tell them what a fucking visual novel is. The game's artstyle is unacceptably rough because for some incomprehensible reason each panel is drawn separately, like its some sort of prompt based multimedia webcomic and not a visual novel where you can reuse images to save resources. Like, genuinely sincerely I think this game would be like at least a 2 star or a 3 star if I didn't have to spend half my time looking at these scribbles born out of a fundamental refusal to engage with the medium the story is being told in, goddamn.

Anyways uh, idk read Gideon the Ninth or Umineko or Vast Error if you want a more mature step up from postmodern YA adventure space fantasy, Psycholonials is just kinda, there, even if you disregard the circumstances it was made in.
