though this game is a male protagonist, the story with angela, mary, & maria really stand out.
mainly the game is more about james & his masculinity but shows his perspective on women as well.

my favorite feminine horror game. fem protagonist & fem villain. themes of birth, society's views towards women, stalking, intimidation, forced impregnation/birth, body autonomy, abortion, etc.
motherhood, missing mother & spiritual feminine figures.
avoiding spoilers, a main character is shown dealing with psychological themes of womenhood & family.
amazing ending that i don't want to spoil!
