Wow, it's not often I write reviews on games, but this blew me out of the water. The storytelling is INTENSE and well-done. Kind of sad that the "best" ending results in Kazumi being miserable in a mental institution for the rest of your life... in a world full of hope and happy endings, the thought that Kazumi is hopeless and can't be saved is sad.
I also felt that although Kimiko was so irrational and unlikable most of the time, I could relate to her a bit. When I was wheelchair bound, I had to rely on others for help every day, like Kimiko does because she can't leave her house. Eventually my friends became tired of helping me constantly and stopped, and I began to resent them. It took a while for me to let go and realize that I had to be more mindful of others, stop expecting so much from people, and find happiness within myself instead of relying on others for it. I also used to be pretty prone to anxiety and worried about everything, similar to Kimiko's internal dialogue.
Dang, this was disturbing. It's gonna be hard to sleep at night. But god DAMN I hope I never become like Kimiko... or have a terrible relationship like her's and Kento's. Jesus. It sounded like they were going to be happy from Nowhere Safe 1.
Sorry for writing so much! Keep up the excellent writing.
