I remember asking for this and a few other games from my parents when I was 14. I'm 100% sure 14 year old me would've loved this, but halfway through the game, I started realizing how much I and my interests had changed. I am 22 now. I bought the game myself. I love the feeling of finally being able to open one of the games that I've wanted to own for so long, it's like trying to impress the inner child in me.
3 stars for the game
5 stars for the feeling

The king and his people who built a kingdom in the forest really got me emotional. At the event of the king's "death" they transferred the king's data into the body of a smaller machine in hopes that the king will someday grow up and lead the kingdom once again and make it prosper. Them realizing that, after years of guarding the king, he is not growing up since you need an organic body was both hilarious and sad. And that's a pretty small part of the story. There's a bunch of other stories in this game that really got me.
It's amazing how taking humanity's behaviors, customs, beliefs and traditions and having machines act in accordance to those without guidance from actual humans make for a strangely intimate story.

The higher your rank, the nicer the people you get to queue up with. Also, my boy Harith needs a new skin.

Even my spider-sense couldn't save me from this one. Pretty neat that it had some of the comics in the game tho.

The first time I found "The cake is a lie" made me feel like the game was talking to me, not my character. I was 11 and it freaked me out.
