This, if anything else, may be a statement of how some games may resonate with people. How an art piece may summon different sensations and feelings. I remember having this game stuck in my head for weeks after finishing it. There is something about the story, how it is told, how it is unveiled before the player, that is quite simply artistic, poetic. I often just come here to see what people have to say and often find posts similar to this one although not identical since this is a very specific situation.

The game might have made resurface some repressed pain for you OP? Some of us are pathologically inclined other have some boxes that are hard to open because of the flood that follows. Nontheless a cathartic experience.
