  I may have high standards, but I want my pretentious, disturbing games about sensitive subjects to say something worthwhile or at least be good. Otherwise it's just a pointless experiment in self-flagellation. Some of the bad dialogue might be due to translation, but not adding any voiceovers isn't really helping the game in this case. If anything, I just phase out between lines of The Old Man being extremely homophobic to this 12-year-old bisexual kid, and him coming up with this insane plan to take a photo of his bully while he's masturbating. What is the game trying to say with all of this? I have no fucking clue. But it sure as hell isn't stimulating any meaningful conversations in my brain. I haven't refunded a game on Steam before, but there's a first time for everything I guess. I have only played 35 minutes of it so far, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it doesn't seem to be worth what I spent on it on a sale (8,39€), let alone its full price. That all being said, part of me feels almost bad about being this hard on the game, because it's completely possible that it's coming from a very personal, sincere place from the developers' part... But this isn't a review for the developers. It's for the customers. And I just don't think that you should buy this game based on what I've seen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  First of all, the nudity and sexual content can't be overstated and is significant, especially for a mainstream American audience. There are two instances of topless women as well as one section where the main character is outside a giant clitoris and conversing with a pubic louse; this section also involves a phallic object interacting with the clitoris, causing there to be dripping moisture. The references to sexual content are also not minor and include graphic descriptions of a BDSM scenario involving scat and force-feeding detergent to a tied-up "slave." It's difficult for me to recommend this title just because I know so many people for whom this would be a deal-breaker, and I personally would have liked this game a lot better if it had been toned down a little and some of the most egregious and - to my mind - unnecessary elements had been removed. However, this is also a genuinely interesting game with well-designed puzzles (with the one exception of the sports quiz that other reviews have referred to). I didn't like the protagonist, but his thought processes were intriguing and I found the game and its world engaging. When the game finds a good balance with its dark subject matter and its stories I think it is affecting, and I feel like I'll be thinking about this game (as a flawed but interesting piece) into the future. I also think that more developers should create games like this; there is a lot of space for games to reflect personal journeys, and I liked the structure of seeing the character develop and flounder and try to defend himself and his ideas through the years as he goes through different experiences. Not a game for everyone, but I enjoyed the 3.5 hours I spent.

  TLDR: Fun to play. Interesting game. Ruined by disgusting undertones and explicit sexism, misogyny, homophobia, and paedophilia. Cannot recommend as the insinuations, lack of education and general hatred toward some groups of people needs eradicating from further minds. I read all of the text. Not only does the game unapologetically retain deeply sexist, misogynistic, and homophobic themes, but it alludes to paedophilia as basically an innocent, non-criminal act if used purely for 'personal purposes'. Such sentiments in a 2018 game? Naturally made by men with solely men in mind. As a woman, to play a game in which a woman is depicted from the waist down, oversized to the point of gigantic size, laid asunder on a street corner, being sexually 'teased' (in fact assaulted as no consent was even basally implied) by an obscene phallic candle which rubs itself sluggishly along her (outer) clitoris until a wet drop sploshes down, it's just disgusting. And to top it off, these same men are confounded by women. What do they want? How to get their respect and attraction? How about not depicting them as objects for your pleasure, and then judging them by your subjective, uneducated sexist standards?

  It's ok - difficult but hard to stomach for people who don't really like sex. Kind of stereotypical and overly philosophical. I felt like I wasn't warned well. It's an okay game.

  Not a game for the faint of heart but a true journey for those who can see the true beauty behind it. It has several life defining messages its beautiful in a disgusting way. This game is not for everyone, it can introduce some extremly mature concepts but its worth it.

  I really wanted to like this game. I love things that are story driven and point and click but have to agree with the other critiques. My feedback includes spoilers. The story itself falls flat, I felt disconnected from the characters and the story was just overall not compelling. The characterization wasn't the best either, there was not much personality in each character's dialogue. Desire as a child speaks the same as he does when he is aged. The game open and ends with a voice narration and while not exactly gameplay related, it was quite disappointing to find out that these were the only two instances of voice over narration. The music starts off really nice and somber but gets redundant really quickly. There are no sound effects when words appear or when you click on things so it doesn't feel as satisfying. At times there are quiz portions that seem really unfair, especially the one regarding feminism. There is no way to get this information unless you go through trial and error, which for the gaining trust portion, had about 5 hurdles if not more. Get one wrong and you would have to start over again. It would have been much better game design if the answers to the soccer quiz or feminism history was given somewhere in the game.
