I don't actually know how to articulate how much this game means to me, or how good I think it is. I played it very close to release, after playing the 2 prequel games, and didn't really know anything else about it. As someone who had recently dropped out of uni due to mental health and was desperately afraid of having to go back to a rural area in the middle of nowhere, somewhere with not many other lgbt people, where my parents lived, when a family member I was close to had recently passed away, it really hit hard. Mae reacted and did and said things that I felt and thought, I saw the ugliness in the way she acted in a way I hadn't noticed in myself. The characters are so real and playing this game felt like a weird American twisted up version of my life events written and shown in a beautiful way that life never is. I can't rec this game enough, please play this. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would.
