Cringe culture is such a bitch because it keeps people from experiencing genuinely great art. Admittedly I don’t think 14 year old was emotionally mature enough to do a pacifist route, and so I’m glad in some ways I didn’t play this until 2019. Anyway, this is like my 3rd replay? I played originally on Switch and wanted to clear my Steam file. We talk a lot about a “cringe culture,” and I can’t really further add to condemnation of such or praise the game in any way which hasn’t been accomplished, but rather I’m just astounded to see an indie game truly get such a large following and spot in our culture, even if the part most everyone knows is the No Mercy. And beyond that, an indie game that really stays that way and doesn’t go the route of say, Minecraft.

A rare case where I can say a Switch version is definitive due to it having a character arc resolve in it.
