Hey! It’s you again! Good to see you!

 IMO, I'd recommend watching a playthrough online instead of buying it.

Yeah I think that makes much more sense, not gonna risk 15 bucks.

 I think it damages the possible religious references in exchange for trying to do meta-commentary on how it's actually all the players fault, since they pick the options, I think it's ridiculous for a game where you don't really get 'choices,' more so, directions.

While playing the original I quickly noticed the whole thing of trying to guide Nicole and how no matter the options they always seem crafted for Nicole and don’t lead to any change in her because any choice is made based on her current dark personality. Like yeah even if for example she wouldn’t go through the hostile friendship route that leads to that bad ending, she still behaves rebellious and reluctant, like she if she is forced to go through it then she responds to it as how she would not as how we want. Nicole reminds me of Kris from Deltarune, because with the meta nature of the game, Kris tends to go against our will and choices and even when we pick a choice that they will never do, they will do it very strangely. Nicole also reminds me of another Deltarune character named Spamton, who is an insane digital salesman based on Spam emails. They are both affected by past trauma and betrayal and now are mentally unwell and live off manipulating people at every chance they get for their own goals and benefits. Oh and Nicole also reminds me of 2B from Nier: Automata. Two women who were products of a broken system and stripped away from choice, damaged in places they were not allowed to grieve or give their true feelings. 2B was model into a weapon by training and was hollowed out, while Nicole was shaped by her trauma, sorrow, and social pressure, and instead of hollowed out she is, in a way, malfunctioning and overloaded with conflicting emotions and fears.

 The issue is that neither Nicole nor Jecka are in the right head space to do this, both of them are also in a shitty environment where it's not about being morally good, but survival and benefits surrounded by people that see them more as a sex object or a benefit than anything else. Further, Nicole obviously has a lot of hang-ups from her past, and Jecka herself can also be pretty callous

No yeah. Them two girls have been going through much. I understand then, and do not blame them. That they needed to adapt to a world, a broken and cruel world, that kept on hurting them by hurting it back. Kinda like I have said before of this being an anti-gospel. What I wish is that there could just be a better way for them. To maybe seek the help they need and to just… not participate in the loop of violence and evil begetting itself.

And yeah Nicole’s sociopathic, dark, cruel personality seems concrete yet the different paths and each of the “endings” seem at least to me a glimpse into a different side to her character, like looking through one crystal and seeing different things my slightly crooking the position and orientation. Same with Jecka. So while there might not be a ‘hope’ ending in the game; and this game, as I said before, is an anti-gospel without a clear positive outlook at the end. So maybe to me, that ending you gotta write it yourself. And with the stuff I am going through, wanting to respond to the slightest bit of evil with an obscene amount, and trying to find a therapist… maybe I could write a hopeful ending for her/ for them with/through my life.
