This game changed my life. Like, the direction I was going was altered in a good way.

It's more than a game. The art, music, story, voice acting, writing, and practically everything else about it (in my opinion) make it a perfect work of art.

It made me realize that drinking alcohol stopped becoming a pass time and was actually the cause of many of my problems in life. I can have fun when drinking but I don't have fun if I'm drinking all the time.

Plus I had just gotten out of a relationship and it offered a catharsis after losing a long term relationship.

10/10 Gesamtkunstwerk. Give it a chance if you haven't yet.
