I wish to express I'm very happy that I played this, it's honestly the best game I have ever played, and it exceeded all my expectations, by the ending I was glued to my chair for four hours because I couldn't stop, and it was better than anything I imagined, I came across this game by pure coincidence, and at the start I didn't think much of it, but truly it is an absolute masterpiece that pushed my emotions to the max, incredible story telling, currently I would mark this as one of my favorites pieces of fiction ever.
Hands down the best OST in a game and most touching writing, the gameplay experience is so unique that I lack the words to describe it. It had me in an emotional rollercoaster, and it got so overwhelming that many times I had to pause and take breaks to digest all that happened. Tragic and deep story telling, exploring deeply many complex and psychological topics, insane story but also beautiful and really rewarding to play.
The scope of this game isn't like anything you can imagine.
