It's not that disturbing tbh, just killing kids that were acting like they trusted you. It was sad at first but then I had to replay from the start several times, murdering hundreds of my homunculi children. I lost my sympathy like our main man, only wanting to reach the end goal regardless of the lives taken. I just got sick of replaying it to get the achievements tbh. I really love the amount of art and effort put into it, I love that the creator loves their idea. I bought the reborn dlc and the artbook, mainly because they were on sale, but still real good art. There aren't many differences between having sons and daughters, but a few of them do send different letters. I think one of the sprites for the male Ataran was messed up, and I like how the male Titanium has the same looks without the mask. I don't recommend this if you like hundred percenting achievements, but it is a game experience. If you're unsure on buying it, wait for a sale to drop :)

Not sure where to start. Let's start with simple things. The visual style is great. The music is nice. The gameplay loop is interesting. The plot itself is ok, but I have a small issue with the way it's told. A bit more complex things. The protagonist looks like a sadist. Yes, you need to do very unethical things to progress, but the protagonist cranks up the violence level unnecessarily high. On the other hand, it may be needed to make player's actions feel more impactful. The game that comes to mind as a comparison is Bioshock. You also may need to do evil stuff there, but the screen just goes black after you press a button. Sure, there are other ways to make the player feel bad about their actions, but here the developers chose grotesque violence. The other thing that I'd like to mention is the notification that appears at the start of the game. It informs you that the game was inspired by the things that happen in dev's place of origin and was designed to make you feel bad. The first thing – it's just sad. There are places in the world where people live in terrible conditions, and it's understandable that the developers want to spread the word. But I would prefer to figure out the allegory during the gameplay (like it was done in spec-ops: the line), or during the credits. And I'm not sure that the "it'll make you feel bad" notification is required at all. But hey, I'm sure the developers had a reason to make it this way. Also, don't forget to install a free dlc. It's supposed to add a bit more gameplay, but I don't know, since I found out about it only after completing the game.

Genuinely made me feel like a piece of shit, so the developers achieved exactly what they intended. The first few screams of the girls as I chose to sacrifice them truly rattled me, but later on, when I saw the end goal within reach, I lost any remorse or feeling as I had been engulfed in mania to revive our daughter. The cycle of abuse, the cold and calloused protagonist, the trial and error, and the pain of the homunculi. All of this together creates the tense and manic atmosphere that I sunk into as I binged this game attempting not only get the resolution to the story, but also to dive deeper into the details of the homunculi and the steps taken to get to the end.

"This game is designed to upset and disturb you" And yes disturbing it is. For a while at least. Because after violently slaughtering you 511th victim is starts becoming a slight repetative. This is something you don't mind at the beginning, but then it comes to getting the "perfect ending" or the last couple of achievements, you are going to be bored. However loving everything about it, especially the meta plot-twist kinda ending Hhh, not gonna tell! -------------------------------------------- Achievements/Completionist: AAAARGH *ripping hair from my scalp* Play this game if: - You want to raise beautiful daughters, naaw - You want to murder said daughters (for a good cause! or is it?) - You want to play a different kind of simulation:ish game that will keep you busy and entertained for hours! Do Not play this game if: - Murdering makes your eyes cry </3 Verdict: 7.5/10

Love the morose and grim vibe of this game. A diabolical plot and frighteningly relatable in its desperate fight against nature. Thank you everyone for everything you've done. <333
