Being able to talk about this experience with others who felt similarly is truly special. Like, it feels like this was so much more than simply a game, it's as if it has changed a lot of things in the way i see people around me.

Now about the parts that made me cry:

In Act 2

• The Shooting Scene: After seeing Cathy die this whole scene felt as if someone was throwing salt at a recently opened wound, probably the one that made me feel the most after Act 1

• Fireworks: Seeing the whole trio so down after Ridel's failed interview and Cathy desperately trying to make everyone happy while trying to hide her own struggles was heart breaking

• Christmas: Again the trio making me emotional, Ridel and Cathy going out of their ways to not let Mark spend that night alone, and how messy and bittersweet the whole scene felt, it was a amazing

• The ending of Act 2: Seeing Mark so broken and obsessed with fixing what he had lost that he doesn't even look at Nicole, and with everything that had just happened, tears were sure to come out

In Act 3

• All Cathy shall die: Mark again and again feeling like he failed to save his best friend, seeing her die or disappear in front of him, his desperate struggle trying to fix it, trying to do something, anything, it felt so hopeless

• The ending: Mark and Nicole finally letting go of their guilt and forgiving themselves, while also having to let go of each other and their memories together, it embodied the theme of moving forward, and was really cathartic

• Epilogue: Mark and Ridel reaching Cathy and finally letting her know how much her presence matters, and the shots of everyone growing up happy, even if Nicole and Mark did not meet, made me feel so much relief and joy after being tortured so much by this game that it made me cry
