I remember first watching the gameplay of this when I was young and had unrestricted internet access, instead of being horrified I was actually really intrigued by this game. I loved everything about it, its old now, maybe you could point out the bad parts of it but it is still a very beautiful game. I feel for Fran a lot, when I was younger I too was on pills that would cause me very vivid dreams (ADHD meds lol) which caused me to go into a spiral when I was about 9. I never told anyone in my family because they were super religous, especially my mom and when I first watched Markiplier play this I felt so validated through her experience with the red pills she got. Not to mention how vivid her dreams were like mine. Still love this game even if it put me in psychosis when I was a kid, I really wish I would have played it without knowing about the story before hand.

This game is perfect for all the scaredey-cats (like me XD) who want to try playing a (psychological) horror game! There are basically no jumpscares, as far as i know, because the player can mostly "control" when they want to see the "other side" aka the morre gruesome, scary, gory and grotesque side. i can only recommend this game (especially to those who normally do not (like to) play horror games)!
