This game's got to be the most creative and at the same time outright disturbing way to narrate a story that I have ever seen in media. There is no salvation in garage: bad dream adventure. You are called to explore your past and define your present by interacting with the bleakest and darkest plastic caricature of mankind's corruption. The game relies heavily on symbolism, so while it can be very brutal about some heavy themes, it doesn't ever directly adress them, giving the player the opportunity to grasp the feeling of them rather than trying to have a conversation about them. Generally it's amazing how I never expected to be given the opportunity to think about the effects of trauma in human relationships and be morally conscious about prostitution and industrialization by fishing for Japanese frogs.
