From Odium to Love

It’s hard to capture what makes this game so special to me and many other people. How something so bleak and frustrating can be so therapeutic and comforting. A contradiction? Of course not - we’re human beings. I will tell you a tale of my first experience with this game. I played for a total of about 10 minutes before quitting and deeming it a waste of my time. I’d not played anything like it before, and I’d much rather be spoon fed easy hits of dopamine in my downtime. Wasn’t life already stressful enough?
