Erin's story arc was so upsetting it got me out of bed as I was trying to sleep to write this post. It's so unfair, tragic, and miserable it ends up being the only reason I'll remember this game, despite it providing me with a good 10 or so hours of entertainment.
I can probably only think of a handful of other characters in fiction I've seen that are more pitiful than him. Graphic gore and torture would've bothered me less.
Anyways, thanks for the experience, now I've got to calm myself down and forget I ever played this, unfortunately. I had fun, I enjoyed the concept and idea of his character transformation, minus the emotional abuse.
