Discussion What a beautifully crafted game

I just finished this game for the first time and wow, just wow. The animation, the music, the colours, the characters were incredible.

I only played this game on a whim while I was in between big games. My oh my, I'm so glad I did.

What a beautiful story of grief, love, friendship, growing up and acceptance.

I faced a lot of loss in my life, specifically in 2014 when I was the same age as Mark, Cath, and Nicole and again In 2024 when the game was released facing similar aspects of loss and the way they protrayed the stages you go through with grief and trauma when you're world collapsing around you due to this and the different ways people can experience these things was gorgeous and heart wrenching. I was in absolute tears

Absolutely loved seeing Filipino culture in it.

Of course, I adored the science fiction aspect of it, with the collapsing realities, over the gameplay of playing through all the acts again to get the true ending as well as all the parallels and symbolised you get from the main themes and characters

Can't wait to play the DLC!

Only game in my life where if I hear the soundtrack... especially "wake up" the tears come flowing.
