tw: racism

i have 168/172 achievements and i'm considering going back and just finishing it off but we'll see. overall this game has really good art and voice acting that enhances the horror, as well as good character writing but it obviously has some aspects that could've been done better like the pace. i think racist characters like luke are allowed to be written, but it's really jarring to have us try to sympathize with him by the end, after he's literally called the only Black playable character the n word. i am thankful that the store page has it as a trigger warning, at the very least, and that luke is meant to be a villain. it was just odd for us to play as him and the game to give him a tragic backstory that tried to explain his racism.

this is one of the only visual novels that has tackled this many branching narrative paths which is why it will be forever memorable to me.
