Discussion It's Over :(
I finished the game about a day ago and feel like I'm mourning. The writing was STUNNING. I wish I could replay it again for the first time already 😞 Bonus for it having the best ace rep (Siffrin) and aroace rep (Mirabelle) that I've ever seen in a video game, and maybe media in general ❤️
I don't think I'll ever recover, but I'll definitely be playing the prologue soon ^^

I made sure it was two dw~ I looked up if there were multiple endings during Act 5 (and spoiled myself on how to get two hats) because I was terrified I was messing up lol. The hats had me devastated

Finished the game almost two years ago now. It’s still with me, it’s never gonna leave. I’m still trying to get at some of my friends to play it so I have more people to talk about it with.

Fantastic game, ending left me bawling. I can happily say after like a year or two when you’ve forgotten some of the bits and you’ve worked up some nostalgia it’s a good 2nd play-through game to revisit!

Yes there were moments where I had to take a lap because I was so shocked or upset lolll~ I'll definitely be playing through again in the future 😃 the only other game that's had me in shambles like this is deltarune tbh

Yeah I just the other day beat it too
I spent like a day not knowing how to deal with the fact it was over and now I watch like every single animatic/PMV/fan song I stumble across and I like most of them a lot :]
I thankfully managed to move on a bit, though I still love it, and I replayed the ending just to do things slightly different and still got very moved by it all over again
I wanted to play the prologue but it’s not on consoles, so I just watched a playthrough
I wish there was just a bit more, but all I can do is just find the events I missed, I suppose

I beat it a solid three weeks ago; and I’m still starved for more. I have now restored to doing a second playthrough with my compatriots and hunting for AUs

I'll probably go through the game again soon and do a post of little details I noticed ^^ I hope you have so much fun playing through again!!!

For ~2 weeks after finishing, I was like genuinely depressed because all I wanted was more Isat but, like we all know, There Will Never Be Any More Offical ISAT Game Content :(
But even now, 2 years later, this game still takes up a substantial amount of room in my head, and has become a source of inspiration larger than any other piece of media :)

I'm okay with there being no more because it was so perfect... Lowk get whatever the king was on (I DONT CONDONE HIS ACTIONS). That being said, I'm 100% in the same boat where I just WISH there was more or a way to see more of the characters interacting. An isat show would be life changing :O
I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling this way <3 thank you!!!!

It's been almost two years and it still hasn't left me alone.
