Hope you enjoy the game thoi'm only maybe 2 hours in and it's already incredible. i knew i was going to like it but i'm not sure i really knew how moved i'd be. all the art is just incredible, the first few moments of the game are one of the strongest hooks i've ever experienced, and it called me a turbolib. what's not to love?
It's great but I find it really hard to play too much at a time. It puts me in my Twin Peaks watching brainspace and effects my dreams and stuff. It just hits too hard for me to dive in cause I'll go through a while thing before coming back
this feels like a very poignant warning that i'm too early on to fully take to heart
It didn't take too long for me on my first play, I played it close to when it came out and when it came out Harry's situation at the start of the game was pretty dsmn familiar. I was never mistaken for a liberal in that play but without spoiling too much playing that angle brings up legit and scathing critiques of communism post ussr. It resulted in wayyyy too much self examination to tackle all at once without genuinely spiraling.
The Vision Quest really did make the whole thing less depressing.
