Ouch ow oofie my feels

K so I don't like this game for other reasons (i.e. where's the jumpscare tag) but anyways re: the "depression" stuff said in the game that I noticed before quitting after that jumpscare:

  • Mentioning of not being of value/worth time: Probably the thing that made me go you're wrong the most. Besides the fact that the following statement makes it illogical (how do the others have worth/value? Who gives that value?), it assumes as true that the purpose of life is a relativistic interpretation of happiness. Kinda made me upset that the main character was a dumdum and had no idea what to say when I did, lol.

I admit I'm not any sort of philosophy major, so I'm probably pretty bad at presenting the case for such things. There is a happiness (aka the "good") that is objective (universal), and our purpose here in life is to know, love, and serve that good.

My guess is most horror stories (especially of this genre) work on assuming some philosophical lies as truth. Anyways I'm pretty sure what I just typed out is probably incohesive but I figured I should try to help resolve issues, or at least start the process of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

As for action probably gonna be outed for suggesting this... , I'd suggest praying the rosary, or the divine mercy chaplet. I'll also include you in my prayers tonight.
