It is merely one window into an experience you may not be familiar with, and it's not without some thorny topics, including: - Bigotry (specifically as an allegory for homophobia) - Depression & mental illness - Mentions of and allusions to suicide - Religious emotional abuse - Unhealthy religious environments Some may find the content upsetting or disturbing, including those who have had similar experiences.

[[Start here]].Interactive fiction (like this game) is somewhat similar to choice-based games (like *The Walking Dead* from Telltale Games), *Choose Your Own Adventure* books, or other works of interactive fiction (such as *Black Mirror: Bandersnatch* on Netflix). The choices you make matter: not only do they shape the unique story that you design, but you can't go back and change them unless you start the game over. You make choices by clicking on links (you'll be able to spot them easily, they're always a different color than the rest of the text), which take you to new passages in your story. If there's only one link, it means that there are either no choices to be made or that choices you have made in the past have forced your hand in certain situations. There are several unique endings in the game, and countless varied experiences, which means you can replay the game if you so choose. [[BACK->Table of Contents]]
