I like how you can really see Ice Pick's style in making games even in this one. Yes this isn't pathologic but you can definitely see the references not only in the gameplay and the story but the characters and themes as well. Yeah you can just buy this game so it can help in the development of the patho games but honestly, the game was pretty fun and interesting to poke around in.

its probably good but its not the bachelor route so i don't care

July 2024

I've always had a deep connection to my hometown, a baseline for any nostalgic romantic artist like I claim to be. My fear was always that I'd lose myself if I ever left, like I'd be cutting a lifeline would make me forget all these special feelings I've compiled inside my heart, make me a different person completely. After quarantine, bottled up as we all were, I got myself a reason to leave; I moved a few hours downstate to a slightly bigger city, had a romance, had money, did adult things, and I felt wrong for it. I felt like I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it was the right me. I returned, chasing nostalgia, remembering, feeling the same feelings I used to feel in new places and new ways. To be in Misha's shoes for a week, regarding the world like a hallmark nostalgia show, felt familiar. To stay in the same place all your life begins to feel like a haunt, like unfinished business is preventing you from leaving, but at some point the unfinished business is just... staying because you feel too attached to a place and love to see the minute changes year after year. The fear of forgetting, or missing out overwhelms the need for growth or change. That's not to say it's necessary to leave a place you feel comfort in, that it's the only way to grow as a person, but it's also scary to think about a place changing without you, the people you once knew becoming distant and different, the architecture itself shifting and changing like your own baby teeth falling out and growing back in and pushing the others around in the process. I hate to use the word, but when unprecedented things happen, what keeps you holding on to comfort? What keeps you the same person, is it simply stubborn will, or is nostalgia the binding agent that constitutes a soul and thus a self? Know By Heart is not an answer, but a simple scenario to consider. I struggle with these thoughts still, after thinking I've found myself, the right me this time, the right place and the right time. I don't know if I'll ever find an answer, maybe it's all just waves piling up to a high tide until the need for answers drowns altogether, and I'm carried away to wherever gravity wills me. I think I'm ok with that, but will it still be me after all?
