The Life We've Chosen [FT] - Learning To Face Your Demons
[A Visual Novelty First-Time Playthrough]
The old demon by the lake just might not be the biggest demon in Willow's life. Would that be the deep depression weighing them down? Or the friend who might not be willing to listen and understand what they're going through? It's hard to say. Whatever the case, a deeply emotional and relatable story in the end...
The Life We've Chosen is a melancholy but hopeful story about a person choosing how to deal with their demons, both inner and external.
Even in the darkest depths of loneliness, there may be something worth holding onto.
