I’m definitely capable of atrocities but picking the mean dialogue option in a video game is just too far.

honestly all those “best switch indie game videos” go like
- stardew valley
- hollow knight
- indie you’ve never heard of and no one else has either
- hades
- well that’s not even a fucking indie game
- celeste
- i’m sorry what even is that game?
- undertale (for the cool points) and deltarune is basically the same, right?
- night in the woods (because we need to pad out this list)
- another game that is obviously not an indie
- oxenfree (because we’re losing ideas here)

Love that Oxenfree II really drives home the message that life is actually full of time loops of our own making. Generational trauma is a time loop. Grief is a time loop. Avoiding any life choices by going to bars and rotting away in front of your tv day after day is a time loop. Staying in your hometown is a time loop. The routine of making a living and the inherent monotony of adulthood is a time loop.

i'm obsessed with time loops. it's such a tricky thing to pull off, and i have yet to find a story that scratches the itch properly, but the allure of characters being trapped and the grief of being trapped on top of whatever the story is about is so tangible, as humans we mourn the passage of time with nostalgia but time is a promise that despite the good and the bad, time trudges forward--the character of a loop is stripped of that law, and it's a prime environment for angst and terror and it's just so delicious--especially if they never escape, if they accept fate and turn their torment into comfort.
