I've wanted to play this game for a while, ever since I saw hellfire peninsula's comment. Finally had enough spare change to get it. I really liked it, the gloominess for the lack of a better word. I really like reading through chats like this.

Probably one of the eeriest things is dropping your heart to someone who gives these noncommittal answers, and Ava calling these conversations "deep". It's a boon I think to find anyone willing to listen and not respond with abjectness---what Ava needed was someone to ask and listen earnestly and not brush the topic aside.
The sfx were good. Really ramps up the tension, talking to a one note person and hearing the same thing over and over. I like how it all takes place in this closed town. It's an interesting dynamic, Ava not being really close to her brother, and instead it's her brother's friend that looks out to her. Wasn't sure of bugkillr's gender but it's strange to think how hamer, at least with ava and zer0, focuses on isolating girls. I feel like it's on purpose.
Sadly i cant buy the game but i didnt find any gameplay in yt either maybe you should change the game's name.Seems emotional from 2 comments.I hope someone shares a gameplay on yt
College was a dark time in my life. I woke up when the sun was down, I played World of Warcraft, and went to sleep before it rose. It was all I did. My roommate lived off-campus, so nobody cared that I wasn't going to class. I was just happy to be out of a house where my older siblings had moved on and I was alone whenever I woke up in the night to hear my parents fighting again.
Now I could climb through a window in a dark room and I could be somewhere else. I didn't have to be alone if I didn't want to. I didn't have to be myself if I didn't want to. I didn't have to hear people if I didn't want to. That time ended, eventually, and I had to go back home.
Recently, I told my doctor that I could remember considering self-harm as early as in grade school. Wondering if my bedroom window would be high enough, if I went headfirst. She asked me if I had ever considered that I didn't have to feel that way all the time. I hadn't.
The Curse means a lot to me. I'm sorry if this is comment is inappropriate, or too much, or a bummer. I think this game will be very important to some people.
The Curse captures many things. The unease and loneliness of staying up late playing a mmo and slowly realizing you know nothing about the person you’ve spent hours, if not months, playing with and confiding in. The slippery dream logic of early 3d accelerated spaces. The absurdity of having a heavy conversation while fighting a low level enemy. The texture of the era. Expert sound design, too.

Vigorously recommended. This will stay with me.
