This game is so goddamn beautiful for so many reasons and the sources of it's hatred all seem so unfounded in the actual experience. Anti-escapism in games has been dabbled in before, but never in a way that spoke to my own self isolation and reckless pursuit of better media and more realistic dreams. This game fed into my delusions only to shatter them in the bleakest way imaginable. It's a cheery, childish romp through wonderland for one half and getting buttf*cked by both your and Sunny's trauma for the other half.


Spoilers: [ I have never been sucker punched as hard in the depression and mental darkness as when I entered black space. Games have never really scared me, even as a HUGE horror fan. This section had me quite literally shaking. Gut-wrenching and horrifying and the most relatable piece of abstract art I had encountered up to this point. ]

Buy this game. There's like 80 hours of content for 20$, so definitely worth the admission.
