Hello! First up, CONTENT WARNING, this is going to be a dark and gritty game (it remains to be seen how comfortable I am playing it) — proceed with caution, and take care of yourself. I will try to mark specific content warnings in future videos where relevant. If you think I've overlooked one, let me know and I'll mark it.

Soooooooo. In some ways this game seems very for me — it's beautifully written, it's very funny, it has layers of details, there is endless discussion and overanalyzing of everything within the game itself. But it IS going to be very dark. I have attempted to build a character to make it more likely that I'll get the thread of hope I need to keep going, or to avoid the worst of the dark, but we'll see what happens! I am very glad to know that I haven't actually been spoiled on this game, since I thought the other guy was your main character, yet no, here we are, playing Alcoholic Revolver Ocelot instead.

Please do NOT spoil the game for me or backseat in the comments! I will also leave a comment to this effect. If you would like to join the peanut gallery discussing my DE experience, please join us on Discord and ask for access to the the stream-spoilers channel, where folks will be talking about it while I play, and potentially afterwards, I'm not honestly sure how the channel is used because I don't go there.
