Oh, so suddenly we're all against women's wrongs? They truly hate to see a girlboss winning and they love to see a girlfailure losing. We should probably do something about the Catholics though. I'm sure the debate about this has been very civil. Love to sit down with big hot cup of coffee to sip loudly while reading any history book on this.

With this and Misericorde, I might be really into nun based horrors, but with very specific presentation. Its too easy to miss the mark, and this really threads the needle. Things that haven't thread the needle for me:
- Sister Holiday Mysteries. Love the idea of a mean punk mystery solving nun, but the noir detective staple of "stumbling into problems and accusing the wrong person" feels like such shit when your character seems to care so little that she's ruining the lives of kids and coworkers.
- Lucifer Within Us: cyberpunk religious story just kind of sucks with its just completely uncritical about the church at all.
- coworker's personal published novel. Self-insert fights sin with a sword. Extremely embarrassing.

Nun dramas that have worked for me:
- this
- Misericorde
- Sound of Music

One day I'll figure out the pattern here, but tonight isn't that night.

So now I'm scared of nuns again, so that's fun.

A great, spooky game. The atmosphere is great, really capturing the spookiness of the setting. And I loved how the story went -- it was great, surprising, and very creepy. Loved the characters, loved the story, loved the setting. An all around great visual novel.

religious trauma here we go - the game

i enjoyed myself immensly with saint maker, they really know how to crank up the athmospheric horror. i love love loved the voice acting, you could really feel the emotions; this paired with the artwork really drove home how horrifying an event this would be to experience yourself. definitely revisited quite a lot of my own childhood memories as well ( >﹏<。)

seeing our MC grow through the (rather short) game was incredibly satisfying. i wish my girls the best for their future, amen.

Hmm, I wasn't into this as much as The Letter but it's still pretty solid
