so i played backfirewall_.
i knew the game was a self-described tragicomedy. i was 100% aware of that. i should've taken that as a sign to not get too attached yet HERE WE ARE
i just. i'm just thinking. about how much this game emotionally shakes you around. you and OS9 arrive at the antenna with you already carrying all that guilt around because YOU caused the end of the world for the phone. you see the beam and you think oh yay at least we're gonna get into the cloud!! then you realise the beam can only transfer apps and processes. cue the most painful fucking key press i've ever had to do I GENUINELY HAVEN'T CRIED THAT HARD IN AGES WHAT THE FUCK!!! then right as you are about to get sent to the cloud OS9 contacts you telling you this whole thing can still work out if it just communicates via text. THEN YOU GET SENT OUT AND ITS MESSAGE GETS CUT OFF AND IT TELLS YOU TO COME BACK AND I FUCKIGNGNGNJ. SCREAMS.
OS9 beloved if the game gave me the option i woulda stayed with you. the rest of them can stay in the cloud. we could've just chilled there on the antenna waiting for the system to destroy itself completely. i would have loved that. i know you told me to not be sad about the ejection BUT I GOT ATTACHED AND AAGAGAGHHHHHHGHHHHHH
it's been about 24 hours since i finished the game but whenever i think about i still fall to my knees and slam my fist against the ground. it's gonna take me 3-4 business weeks to recover from it i think
