I loved it. Honestly one of my favorite games this year. It’s incredibly funny but also pretty thoughtful.

I'm feeling the same. It's so damn funny and ludicrous but I'm also seeing some real character development. It's so good.

It’s not really that much like Getting Over It, in that it’s actually pretty easy to just make the climb. There is a bunch of ultra difficult things to do, but it’s all basically optional, and if you just want to get to the end there is pretty much always a relatively easy path to take. And, while it seems kind of annoying at first, it’s actually generous. You don’t typically fall backwards too far, there’s almost always a backstop, and some of the common failure points actually land you at the foot of an easier path (if you want to take the coward’s way out). It’s actually a really approachable game.

I've definitely been in spots where I could only see one way, but perhaps if I'd backed up really far there would have been another path! Always tried my hardest to not fall back too far so that could be the case.

There’s also a bunch of pretty cool hidden things to find, so it’s definitely worth exploring around.

I'm in a place right now where, without spoiling the specifics, there's kind of a lot of open space and I can just pick things to tackle. I think i can see a place to "progress," but I'm not interested in going there yet. Having too much fun.
