Jecka's dads is so scary
I played the first game last friday, second game over the 2 days after that and today I started on the third (least liked game). My expectations were low.
Good fucking Lord in Heaven, I was not ready. The pit of despair that is Jecka's life.. damn. I played my second route (the one where she dates her history teacher). The bleakness of how unescapable her situation is, abusers on all sides. And suddenly I start recognizing Nicole's depression... That ending was just soul-crushing.
I get the feeling the author of the game wanted to really let someone experience what it would be like to be driven to the edge of your "ability to cope". It gave me some "holy shit, this is some of the most vile, fucked up shit I've ever seen" vibes.
Look, I know the game needed more time in the oven (especially in the choices we can make). For context, the first route I did was the extremely mediocre drunk driving route. But honestly, it's worth the 8 euros for just this history teacher route alone.
Yes, I controverially like the final game.
