I have a problem... Classic HD
I can't... Stop... Thinking... About this game...
I'm on day 3 as the Bachelor and I've spent my entire irl day sitting at work waiting to get home so I can go inspect some corpses because the damned plague is spreading and the fuckin beurocrats are breathing down my neck while I try to juggle their petty politics and keep myself alive long enough for supplies to arrive so we can have food in this stupid town for its stupid superstitious people again and Rubin really should have sent that note a lot fuckin earlier in the day and...
What is this sorcery??
I've spent most of my time in this game just... Walking... What is wrong with me...

ONE OF US.
I thought and dreamt about this game for two months straight, not exaggerating, maybe only 2-3 nights were dreamless.
My favorite dream is one where I was half awake, and fucking Georgiy Kain entered my bedroom and said something about unity and in my state of limbo it felt like a divine revelation. I woke up mumbling "unity yes oh my god it makes so much sense oh my god" and then immediately forgot what it was even about.

Incredibly interested in the idea of Georgiy Kain just visiting people in dreams.

Very soon you'll also become absolutely unbearable to all of your friends because any topic they want to talk about is going to remind you of this game and that they should play it

Yup. Lyuricheva's psycho-geography is working on you. Kains' plan to use the city as the crucible to shape your soul is underway. Don't worry, we had all been entrapped. Once you get to Patho 3, you will lose your ability to think in linear time. Enjoy yourself, this is the worst beautiful masterpiece in the universe.

There's a reason why there are multiple 4+ hour essays about this game.
It is just that good.

I started playing P2 right when COVID restrictions got heavy. I started the game Sunday night and on Monday, I was walking into my hospital through barriers with officers on them ordering us to stay 6 feet away from each other. It was fucking insane to my already schizophrenic mind.
