While I have never been in the experiences that Taylor McCue has, which make up the semi-autobiographical narrative of this game, I can definitely relate to the sheer level of trauma and pain that is conveyed.

The visuals express a form of terror and horror that only such experiences could create, and it allows the situation to really sink in deep as you read through these nightmarish scenarios.

My chest feels tight, I want to throw up, the game did it's job at showing me Taylor's pain and sadness of being a sex worker when you don't want to.

The part that I really relate to the most is the feeling that nobody will ever love you because of your past decisions, it's something I've also coped with over these past four agonizing years of adulthood as I've felt entirely alone and unloved because of my failings as a person.

But I think that He Fucked The Girl Out of Me makes the argument that even though that feeling may be there, we should never give into it. Love will find a way, it always has.

I definitely recommend reading this, though do be advised the themes get very intense very quickly, so make sure to check the triggers before you truly get into it.
