    As a recovering Catholic (15 years, 9 months and 5 days without eating god), I was wonderfully delighted with your particular definition of "sin".
    Made me want to print it and put it on a poster on the front wall of my office!
    Thank you!!

      I agree, I need this merch.
      Also, eating god is the best part though! I don't know how you manage. I don't attend church, but I still eat god regularly. And the blood is a pretty solid chaser. Don't let the men in dresses stop you from enjoying the living corpse of the divine.

    You spin quite the yarn for those of us watching this in an old hotel room - and listening too, by the by. Especially with the wailing killdeer right outside the window, out in the darkness. The experience of it all is very atmospheric, care of your deliberately-worded script suited just so for that distinctive voice - in this case, almost eerily calm, like we've been placed inside the game as you slipped out, and you drive the tone (and us) through a hell of a ride. (If you'll pardon the pun, or is it?) It feels like controlled chaos, as your voice soothes as we descend deeper into the fray, with reassurance from your asides only because our guide sounds calm. Bored? Not in the least! Altogether, you've set quite the tone masterfully, and I wouldn't have it any other way - nor with any other voice to guide us, thank _you_ very much! ...I say that with sincerity, which is hard to convey without my voice, but even with it. I'd say "that's our world," but it's not anymore. Not blindly futuristic, not retro, not whatever things used to be. Controlled chaos, as I call it, but I like _1080p_ so I'll have to check out those tracks and drive on. Cheers.
    (I don't know; blame the killdeer. Or maybe one of us has the Shining.)

    this feels like an april fool's day spoof but also it feels like a sincere 90's kid smarmy gamer review but also it is so strongly flavoured with your natural dry-riverbed tone and blackberry-eating quips that make my brain unable to tease out what the purpose of this video actually is or if there is anything more to it than the bones of what is laid before me. i am happy to know you don't know what it is either but also i come to you for answers not questions and this video is all questions all the way down.
    much like your other videos i will be mulling this over for days but unlike your other videos i am not sure i will come to any conclusions that are satisfactory. thankyou all the same and i look forward to your future art~

    Just starting the video but I've done maybe the first 4 or so chapters and this game makes me smile. I streamed it for a friend and the "There was a fuckin' werewolf in the bathroom " interlude was just so perfect. I don't have experience with any of the influences on the game, but it's high on my ever growing need to finish list. I know the lead dev behind it is really active on Twitter, and he's a real character.
