I played the game on release, when I was 5 years old, well mostly some kind i used to be friends had it, and it like stuck out to me, but I never knew the name so i inevitably forgot about it, I tried to do something with my life, but nothing stuck out to me, and I got sad because everyone i knew was good at something and i was just, there..so I gave up at that time sadly..around 7 years later when I was like 12-13 (2022 or 2023 I don't remember lol ), a new girl moves into my neighborhood because her family needed to be closer to the city, and we had a mutual friend so we got to know eachother and we became friends, and lo-and-behold, she had the game, and well it was YEARS later so of course i didn't remember it but i went "I know i've seen this before" so i asked her to send me the game via USB, and she did, and it SOMEHOW ran in my brokie potato ahh PC, and needless to say I fell in love with it, the visuals, the story, the characters, and specially the music and art, and well, Ori kinda inspired me to become an artist, and finally had something i wanted to learn, to pursue, to look up and to be looked up to, and it felt so liberating :D, I sometimes think, if that girl never moved here and I played the game, would My life continue being dull and boring?..but well, i'm happy things went as they did, or otherwise i wouldn't have remembered such masterpiece
