I have seen this ending three times and I still cry every time. It's like they made a story specifically related to me .

F.K. ... as clear as a spring morning.

This ending really spoke to me. First Celeste and now this game for trans women... it feels like I level up every time I play one of these.

Anyone who's has depression seek medical attention cuz she tried to suicide/kms by cutting/slit her wrist she was between life and death she survived miraculously

Fake. There are no japanese games with good endings.

This feels so sweet and sad at the same time, and Emily's dream suicide makes me cry with the depressing music. But anyways, here's what Yahtzee says of the game:

"Maybe it's not so much the injuries as the regeneration that's the point; oh, sure, love feels painful now, while you're young, but soon you'll realize how superficial it all was after you grow up and become dead inside like the rest of us. But what does the stabby-chase-monster represent? Societal disapproval? Self-loathing? How much we hate waiting for a hairdresser appointment? Probably the second one, 'cos in one of SWERY's trademark massively-inappropriate lurching shifts of tone, we also bring in teen suicide, and then at the very end, something happens that makes me think - And here, I'm going to spoil something, so if you don't want to hear it, mute the video or cover your ears! Quick, quick! Here it comes! - it might have been about transgenderism all along.

"I think the presentation confuses the message somewhat; it turns into a sort of Rorschach test of an arty game. SWERY approaches the themes the same way he approaches Americana: as an outsider with a possibly overly-romantic view of the subject. Well, I don't know much about SWERY personally; I'm assuming he's not a suicidal teenage lesbian. "Maybe he identifies as one, Yahtz! Don't be oppressive!" How dare you oppress me! I identify as someone who isn't oppressive!" :D Nice one.
