The Breakdown

  • Original IP with single authorial voice
  • Moral weight on every choice, no nihilism cop-out
  • Graphic self-harm and trauma as core plot fuel
  • 2004 practical effects starting to show age
  • Sexual content and violence as easy shocks

Side Effects

timeline anxiety, sudden urge to delete old yearbooks
