An excellent short horror story about the act of Othering by both mainstream society and other Othered youth living under the pressure of that mainstream society. Communicates the latter of the two through a sublimely simple counter behind the scenes. The way in which the tone of the horror differs between a playthrough where you leave a friend to be Othered and one where you all embrace your Othered nature together effortlessly highlights the thematic idea that it's better to be an Other and take care of your fellow Others than it is to push down that undeniable part of yourself to fit into society and abandon the only people that truly understand you.
