The narrative that drives this game; It made me think about existential questions again, it's a horror game different from the flashy mold.

Still think about this game and its ending on a regular basis, even after only playing for 10 hours, 8 years ago. Cannot recommend enough.

This game offers an experience that you won't find in other games. In my opinion, the most significant aspect of this game lies in its decision-making. You make numerous choices throughout the game, most of which are between "bad" and "worse." However, what makes these decisions truly unique is not their impact on the game’s ending but their effect on you. With every choice you make, you come closer to understanding your true self in the real world. Each decision tests your conscience and helps you better define your moral boundaries. In the end, it’s not you playing the game—it’s the game playing with you.

This game is a true testament to the idea that video games are just as powerful an art medium as any other when created with intention and thoughtfulness. This game will never leave my brain, it offers more philosophical insight than most books do.

This isn't just another horror game — it's a masterpiece with an amazing atmosphere, captivating story, and voice actors who brought the characters to life with incredible depth and emotion. The fact that I can never experience this game again for the first time is agonizing. Truly an unforgettable game.
