(she dead on my end til I aegis)

I will forever be a Dead End Aegis defender.
A lot of people will see its tags and immediately pass it off as yet another fucked up nukige, in the vein of Maggot Baits and Euphoria. They'd be pretty right.

But it's so much more than that.

There isn't really anything I can say on the cosmic horror aspects (or the dystopian setting & its critique of capitalism) that hasn't already been said by people considerably more literate than I. What I do know is that some of the psychological horror aspects pack a powerful punch. Certain scenes ended up making me cry. I originally pirated this game, by the way, but it fucked me up so hardcore that I decided to buy it on gog to actually finish it. It took me two days to complete, which I think is a sign I may be more mentally ill than I thought.

Dead End Aegis is, at its core, under all the tentacle rape, a game about survival. If cosmic horror, the military-industrial complex, sci fi, yuri and magical girls being tormented is your thing, I'd give it a play.
