The writing in this was so fantastic and evocative it somehow made me miss being a moody, awkward teenager. So many memories and feelings from that stage of my life that I thought were long-forgotten came back to me playing this game. The issues with this were purely with the gameplay. The story worked well in a click-and-point game format, but a lot of actions the game required you to take to move the story forward felt completely obtuse. I had to look at a guide a few times and would have never worked out I needed to do certain things without it. Interacting with the world was also difficult - objects seemed to have very small boundaries and I had to do a lot of pixel-hunting to find the exact spot to click that would let me actually interact with an object.

Overall a fantastic, immersive story with messy but relatable characters. Some janky gameplay but the story is worth it.
