Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Back when I played it in 2022 on its release, I thought of the 2012 creepypasta horror story about "The Tulpa" (https://www.creepypasta.com/tulpa/) basically the practice of creating a "tulpa" in your mind, a darker twist to imaginary friends, just that with its creation it would consume the better part of you as well.

Although it’s not for the faint of heart, it has an eccentric and intriguing story, with unique gameplay I haven’t seen elsewhere that I can’t help but recommend this fantastic work of art.
