I am a little past seeing Lisa's backstory...damn, this game took the
"dad is dead" theme to the limit with the mc, Marianne and Lisa all losing their dad's. I guess the mc is going to have to become the new dad for all three families. In all seriousness, that Lisa backstory hit even harder than the other two, her losing her sister as well and blaming herself with the help of her mom.
Also,
ham candle, I have been alive for 54 years and thought I had heard all the different slang terms for a dong, guess I was wrong. That is almost as good as a random band name I ran across many moons ago called "The Pork Tornadoes".
EDIT: Just finished the current build. This fucking game is wrecking me, goddammit. The end of the "Smile" chapter had me leaking out my eyes and nose. Then the damned devs had to hit me with this...
I miss that glorious man. I consider myself pretty lucky that I have never really struggled with depression. I have lost people I was close to, like both of my parents and one of my brothers but they were all over 65 years of age. Those still affect me at times but I have enough good memories that it offsets some of the loss. The MC in this game is beautifully written. Hell, all of the characters are well written, even the ones we hate. Just as the story is about to rip us apart, we get nice little breaks of well written humor to bring us back to life.
I don't write reviews for unfinished games but if this keeps the quality at this level, it will be one of the very rare 5* reviews I will leave.
