I always knew that I'm gonna love this game.

you know that meme "huge sh2 fan excited to play it for the first time" that was me. it took me nearly a year to play this game just because I was scared that I hyped the game too much for myself and it's gonna understandably disappoint me, In that time frame I was even spoiled about the twist at the end.

for a bit of context; there are a couple of story themes that I find very interesting and nearly everything that I love in any medium is considered a work that touches on those ideas.
one of them is "unreliable narrators" and another one is "self-hatred". I have more but these two are by far my favorites. the works that explore these ideas are few and the good ones are even fewer. honestly the reason I got back to gaming was because I couldn't find anymore good stuff that satisfy my needs, hell I'm on my seventh rewatch of Bojack Horseman. I still can't find stuff that satisfy my needs.

but this does actually. I wasn't disappointed, I was nailed to my sit and even though I knew the twist it still surprised me. I really wasn't expecting it to hit me this personally.

there's some goofy voice acting in there too but that's how I think I sound like when I talk about something important so for that I'll give it a pass.

so should you play it? no this game sucks and double no if you had a breakup recently don't make the mistake I did.
