#this should probably be formatted better and written better and I've missed themes FOR SURE

[soapdish290]

I just played 1000xRESIST.

My first thought was "oh this has vaguely breathy voice acting with oodles of weight this is my shit" Shortly later I assumed "ooh I'm playing a smol gay girl from Hong Kong that's cool" This was followed by "oh no I'm actually playing a lightly terrible teen from Hong Kong, complex!" Then I began to understand "...I'm playing a clone who is witnessing the life of a lightly terrible teen?" "The teen has issues?" "There's a cycle of issues, oh no" "oh." "oh." "Oh!" Then it was "oh"s all the way down for about 12 more hours with a fair bit of weeping and sobbing and some very undignified noises

I'm trying to recommend this game but I'm fucking sucking at it because it's 10am and I've spent the last 16 straight hours playing the entirety of this game and every part of my body woke up during the credits and started screaming at me

And this is NOT a good state to be in as far as wording good enough to describe the themes in this fucking game. If you like:

Exploring the cycle of violence and abuse and the desolation caused therein

Exploring the end of the world

The last 2 episodes of Evangelion

Grief and Loss on scales personal and unimaginable

Explorations of immortality

What it means to experience Time and Memory non-linearly

Alternate ways of existing in a temporal space

Alien understandings of Life

Consequences

Love

Explorations of childhood

Coming of age stories

Stories about Asian Diaspora

or Sobbing and Crying

Then you should play this fucking game holy fucking balls I can't recommend it enough.
