I know the mere sight of my name will piss some people off here, but please... relax. I don't mean to bring harm to the game. I've redacted most of what I said to the point where people can form their own opinions and the last months I've sat on my fingers watching things unfold. And as always, I am glad to see Hematite take time out to explain his mind. Even if it's not the explanation some people wanted, from what I can tell here. I would like to speak my mind, because there is a lot of negativity aimed at the developer purely for the family thing - and in my misunderstanding, I was fuelled by a same negative energy for a different subject.
Back when Hematite explained to me the story focused on absurdism/surrealism, I made note of the fact it is hard to pull of well because the line between understanding and misunderstanding is thin and is based upon understanding the ground rule of absurdism. I mistook the game for a deeper-layered, logic-based psychological corruption. I was wrong. The moment I realized the developer was aiming for a different benchmark, things in the game found a better reasoning. I could better see the path Hematite aimed for. Now I had probably hoped this game was something a bit different. But in the end, the developer has explained part of the vision and it's up to him to follow it, up to us if we want to keep watching.
I can appreciate the product a bit better now knowing it's made to deliberately take a few liberties with logic and reality. I can only advise you to do the same or stop playing. It's the only way this game will be fun, if that kind of thing is fun for you.
I'm curious to how it will end. That's my opinion for now until the end of the game.
