bad story about really questionable things, bad characters, bad gameplay, shitty lore, cringe torture porn aesthetic, lots and lots of bugs that ruin the experience even more. at this point, you would think, novelty factor of "a game that actively makes your time with it worse" should already expire. and yet people still eat up and enjoy clearly flawed product like this.
nevertheless, I don't hate this game. it's really hard to pinpoint why, but I'm enchanted by it. I'm exited about playing termina. I genuinely want to like it, because of how good, it seems, the parts of this game align in a picture of astonishing certainty. picture that i dislike, but that is still artistically, tonally, atmosphericly impressive.
