YET. You forgot to say yet.The game can invoke nice feelings though, like Akira actually trying to comfort Wakana with no ulterior motive, like an actual friend.
Weird that that moment was allowed to happen without some existential fuckery or anything malicious happening.
Shhhhhhh.
I think the thing that keeps me coming back to this weird lil' game is exactly those visceral reactions. Whether they're positive (that Wakana scene, or the one with Osako), protective (many of them), appalled (Stomachache), or furious (again, many), LiL has made me care and respond over and over again. Astonishing, given that I don't even like the protagonist very much.
Can't say the gods in particular have ever gotten that reaction from me, though — I'm still not convinced they're not aspects of Akira's own f#$#ed-up mind, and to be honest when they show up, my main reaction is a groan of annoyance.
