Completely, overwhelmingly ruinous. A portrayal of the deep tragedy inside years spent being an aimless, lonely child, wasting humid suburban summers inside endless places that have barely heard of the concept of love. One of the most intensely resonant pieces of art I've ever interacted with, and by far my favorite game of all time. I still can't look at a screenshot of it or listen to a song from the soundtrack without a tidal wave threatening to drown me again. It's the kind of thing that leaves you with so much feeling that you can't physically process it. It feels like you're rupturing at the seams, and yet you want to stay in that headspace forever.

I balk at summarizing it any more directly than i have; partly because talking about why i like it in detail would necessarily collapse some of the characters' ambiguity, something that i really enjoyed on my first playthrough, and partly because its itch.io description -
"Lovers in a city where they cremate the roadkill" - communicates everything i'd want to say about it in a single sentence.

Know that the visual art is consistently incredible and the pure amount of it present here is inspiring, the prose is fine tuned to be as communicative as possible even when it trends abstract, and the music is fuzzy, spotty and a foundational pillar of the inexplicable mood of the game. Nearly every character here, especially the central duo, is constructed with a disarming intricacy and beautiful humanity. Finch is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction.
It's free and it's barely three hours long. Please, please give it a shot. More people need to have seen this through.
