This was a lovely, sincere and moving experience. I loved the mechanic of destroying and regenerating your body to get past obstacles. It’s a little annoying when the character keeps crying in pain without actually reacting verbally to what is happening. The text conversations were occasionally saccharine but still engaging. Knowing this was a ‘trans story’ I was nervous about that becoming a twist, and not sure about using suicide as a climax, but it turned out it kept going. The final gameplay sections were really exhilarating, shifting to have the player ‘lose their way to victory’. I’ve heard narrative consultants had a lot of impact on this final result. I would love to know should we be giving them more credit, but I don’t think we can totally discredit SWERY for some of these great ideas.
