What it means to us

Content Warning: Mental health struggles (depression)

we found out about this game via a YouTube video. The Channel's name evades us because it was changed a few times. Jordan somthing . His videos where dark but at the time it reflected how we felt. We had been in a deep depression. This video made us feel comfortable. As a collectivewith anxiety leaving the house had also been a big struggle. Madotsuki in game would shake her head if you attempted to interact with the door when in the waking world. This game is all up to interpretation. The music is 7 second loops but they are so seamless that it works. Our favorite place is the Barracks Settlement. The best track in the game in our opinion. This game is so surreal it lives in our heart.
