      What was bad about it? I hadn’t heard any criticism before this

        The story is what a middle schooler thinks constitutes “deep writing”, and the gameplay felt like a tacked on mess made by someone who saw a video game on the internet once without a single clue of what makes them good

          What is ‘deep writing’ to you? It’s a character driven narrative focused on two characters’ relationship to each other and their survivors guilt. It doesn’t have to be ‘deep’ to be compelling. It might not be ‘the greatest story ever told in a video game’ as it’s been lauded, but it’s not bad by any means.

          Gameplay is w/e I’ll give you that one.

          Seeing you specifically talk about how bad the game is finally pushed me towards being a fan of it. Now I can’t wait to play it. Thanks!
