A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Never in my life have I felt so used by a game. Feels dirty. The video game equivalent of emotional abuse.

5 stars, would recommend.

It's all fucked up heartwrenching bullshit and/or confusion through the main game, AND THEN you play the "plus" stories and they're fucking incredibly empathetic and thoughtful with positive messaging about neurodivergence and also feel like they might fall into a lesbian porno at any minute

I played the freebie version ages ago, any thoughts on if the Plus -version's content worth revisiting it? The shock value of the game is kinda one-and-done I feel.

IMHO the Plus version is a downgrade since it is made for consoles and does not require you to modify files on your own system.

Yeah the 6 prequel stories are cute but $15 is outrageous. I'm sure you can just watch them on youtube.

I bought it specifically to support the dev, which is way more effective regarding small games by small publishers than big games by big publishers.
