i don't think a game has ever gone from "pretty good 7 or 8/10" to "reduced me to a blubbering mess" that quickly before. and "shit that makes you cry" is like, my favorite genre!

there's a bit to be said about the blinking mechanic and how janky it can be at times, and the game doesn't give you as much agency as i'd have liked surrounding one specific character i didn't care much for, but who fuckin cares. shit made me cry. not get choked up, not tear up, full-on fuckin cry. absolutely insane
