just beat this game after ~30 hours (played some offline), and wow. WOW. During the last stretch of the game I cried for like 30 minutes straight, and then kept sporadically crying for another 30 minutes. This game's narrative just hits so, so deep emotionally. Please play this game. No other piece of media has ever made me cry this much.

the game *will* frustrate you. that's by design, and imo the payoff is so, so worth it.
