Hello fellow humans of the internet. I'm Renee.
Not my mom, who seems to have become a little... shall we say...
...Unresponsive.
...Yeah...I think that's a good way to put it.
Anyway, I was just sitting here, waiting on my bus to arrive to take me to school for a weird internship program thing, after staying up all night...
And...well...
Ok, here's a few things you should know about me before you start making assumptions...
I am 18 years old.
I drink coffee.
I take anti depressants.
...And I may have forgotten to take them last night...
...So, yeah...
Anyway, I'm willing to bet that you didn't come to this post expecting a rant about my personal life, now did you...?
So, I shall provide entertainment with links to make up for my previous statement.~

The soundtrack to this amazing game.~

The amazing game.~
A youtube link for those picky few.~
(Don't think I can't see you. Yes, I'm talking to YOU...)
Also, in the time it took me to find those links, a day has passed.
Mom walked in on me and wouldn't go away, so I had to go to school and whatever.
...And I may have been sleep deprived....
...ANYWAY...
Depict 1 may be one of my favorite games in existence.
Despite being a little glitchy at times, it is a solid platformer that controls fairly well.
But the best thing about this game has to be the fact that IT IS A GAME THAT LIES TO YOU!
SERIOUSLY, where else have you heard of a game outright AVOIDING TELLING YOU HOW TO PLAY IT???
Nowhere else, that's where.
It raises so many questions about trust, control, and perspective that just NEEDED to be asked!
...Need I say more?
...Well, I didn't really need to make this post, but... eh...
...
Anyway...
If I ranted about every little thing that I love about it, I would risk revealing spoilers to the games (very well hidden) story.
So, as much as it pains me, I must ask you to play it for yourself.
(Yeah...Do that... YOU know YOU SHOULD,,,)
(You know who you are...)
I feel like this game was the inspiration for a new trend of games and movies that tend to break the fourth wall, and man, do I appreciate them all.
Because they make us realise how little control we really have over the individuals who decided to mess with coding and other worlds for our enjoyment.
And the way I see these individual experiences may be EXTREMELY far off the mark when compared to your perspective.
Communication is the goal written on the point card in my school, but media like this make me feel like this isn't just a problem limited to people with social 'disorders' such as myself.
(If you didn't know, I am indeed autistic. Highly functioning, but still.)
Even if I wasn't the way that I am, I would still have issues making friends and truly being able to sympathize with absolutely everyone.
...Don't think that you are free from this either...
I don't know what kind of mind you have, but I can guarantee that you have made mistakes.
I have made mistakes too.
And I cannot express how comforting that thought is in the end.
^^
So, thank you humanity.
For having flaws, good parts, and in the end, existing at all.~
:3
Some other notable things I would like to mention.

Another awesomely weird, disturbing, and question raising experience.

Everyone and their mother should know about this, but it's another awesome game, more focused on the choice aspect of things. Costs money though...
And now, to end off this post, I will try to find a not to spoilery quote from the game.
Again, cannot recommend it enough.
(<<; You better have checked it out... I'm talking to you...)
"That creature is trapped there, forever. Not like you or I, we're free."
"But maybe the cage isn't so bad."
