Played both endings. I think it is about toxic friendship but understand why ppl think it's also about losing friends to addiction (it can be both, perhaps?)
[Spoiler Ahead!]
As a daughter with toxic parents, I really feel June and Ryan. Those friends/family might not be bad people, but you feel drained when they're around.
From the beginning of the game I notice Vonnie bosses her friends around, McCoy is almost like a bully (describing June as lazy and messy, pushing her into the hotel fountain), and Carmen is all about herself and a bit of an alcoholic. And their overall reactions to June are pretty passive-aggressive. If I have to say, the only thing in common among them is that they are empty inside, so they find others to suck energy. And this is not enough; that's why they're withered, and look for food and water to fill them.
My interpretation of June being the last to their meet-up is that she unconsciously resists showing up. And Ryan perhaps feels the same, but for some reason Ryan can't get himself out of the group. It is a shame that we can't save Ryan, but at least June has the chance to save herself :(
Endings were honestly really disappointing I was so interested in the plot and idea of the story its just once you reach the ending it really makes no sense. How did Ryan even become corrupt with this "rot?" How did anyone even become corrupt with it? Why was June the only one that acted normal? Why even put any depth into characters if you wont touch it more and just kill them off? This game started off so strong its endings just really failed to give it any justice. I would love for maybe a remake of this or maybe a continuation with a new group of friends that goes more in depth with explaining this game.
interesting little game, despite the fact that I don't really know English and it's not my native language, I played it with the help of a translator. I liked the presentation and the open endings, which can make you think about what could happen next. and also, on the poster of this game, these hidden hints in the characters' actions are simply wonderful, the authors are brilliant. good game, definitely recommend. (I still use the translator, there may be errors)
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, DEAR CREATOR?! WHAT WAS THAT ENDING? HELLO? I NEED TO KNOW MORE? EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT, I DIDNOT EVEN EDGE CAUSE I WAS SO LOCKED IN. THIS GAME WAS PERFECT UNTIL THE ENDINGS. YOU HAVE LOTS OF EXPLAININNG TO DO. THE ENDING WAS VERY MYSTERIOUS BUT DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT MYSTERIOUS? NO. am not mad, I am just disappointed love your games, please make more. #loveyou
hey could i have a little help im closing and opening the game over and over again after moving it to the applications folder yet my laptop is saying its open but no new windows open or anything. Is my laptop just broken to investigrave games?
IT'S SO FCKG GOOD ???? THIS AMOUNT OF QUALITY FOR A FREE GAME ? YOU GUYS ARE INSANELY TALENTEND. I'm a big fan of psychological horror and my stomach dropped a few times. Thank you for this
