This review contains spoilers

this was such a morbid yet rather fascinating point and click, i found it intriguing how all the characters have endured trauma and have committed grave mistakes in their lives. yet despite this, they are encouraged to take the path to repentance (even if this person was a nazi who experimented on innocent jewish people for example). however, with this route to repentance they have to do things almost just as gruesome at times.

overall, the game is rather grimdark, and by the looks of it, there's not a proper happy ending. i loved this so much, especially since i'm weak for dystopias and psychology. the only downside is that sometimes you really have to exhaust options in order to progress with the game without screwing yourself over and sometimes things can be very vague. it took me awhile of searching around to figure out that you have to get one of the other characters to turn on the projector in the end game so benny can give his wife the totem of love. but at the same time, i guess this is also something that adds to the charm?

this game is also based off a short story and now after beating this game i just might read it and compare similarities and differences.
