This was... interesting. Reading this is based on personal experience I guess you used to go to those places, I hope you are better now and left that shitty world behind.
I really appreciate you playing my game!! I'll elaborate a little more haha. The game mirrors what a friend of mine went through, albeit with more exaggeration. He's doing very well now and his recovery inspires me every day.
Out of morbid curiosity, I do browse these "incel" spaces from time to time, but I keep it at an arms-reach. This game (or experience?) is my rumination of the subject. And based on your reaction, it seems the message has come across ;)
