words have failed me innumerably while trying to define my thoughts on this and i guess it’s because D2 — and by extension kenji edo himself — is totally peerless. a game that exists within a limitless vacuum where time appears to have stopped, only for it to remind you that time does in fact go on and yours spent here won’t be for naught. a study on isolationism, the fruits of regret seeded from obsession, life itself, and most importantly: hope. despite its utter bleakness at points, our cast never lets the flames of discouragement completely engulf them. interesting piece that still only feels like a small glimpse into the expanse of edo’s mind. while his influences can sometimes be easily recognizable, this is still very much his own. ingeniously paints surrealist imagery that both scratches and soothes the nerves. this is a must play for anyone who indulges in the medium looking for greater things, i don’t want to give too much away.
