I just have to say this. This game is one of the best experiences I've EVER had. Like for real now. Straight changed me in ways I can't explain. Even with just having played the ending and literally bursting out into tears, the game and the story just made me realise that I don't have to force myself into situations I don't want to, particularly relationships. I got the game just thinking it would be another one of those Sex based games, but as I got further into the game, I realised it was nothing at all like that! This game is wonderful in its own way. I really have to say it, and it's helped me figure things out and figure myself out. And some parts of the stories really left me... weird sometimes. I can clearly remember playing the update of the game and getting to the end of that update. Their Dorm burned down, and.. I don't want to sound weird here.. I felt.. sad? Devastated and angry all at the same time. For days. Straight really impacted me for who I am and what or who I love. I can't say it enough. This. Game. Is. The. Best. It's better than any other experience I've played, better than any game I've played, and yet it's so unique in every way. and it binds players into it. Somehow finding a connection with the characters. It's like a book, a very VERY well written book! Or at least that's my interpretation of it. I connected with Zack the most I was just always so fed up with myself. I hated the way I was and couldn't really figure myself out. I didn't even know why. Playing Straight and seeing that I wasn't the only one that felt this way, I started getting better. I have not figured everything out yet, and I'm certainly not at my best. But Straight and this SO incredibly well written story really impacted me and the way I think.. I'm happy I played Straight and I'm so happy I even found it in the first place. This "review" may sound so weird to some people, but I'm genuine. I really meant all of that, and I'm ok with people not understanding it. So, Thank you! Thank you, Aaryn, and everyone who worked on Straight! I loved it so SO much, and I'm so glad someone took the time and effort to even come up with such a different approach to a game. It was so different from anything I've experienced before. Again, Thank you so so much for making this game and pushing through to the end with it. Thank you for helping me figure myself out and slowly making me find my inner peace.
Thank you!
(God, just re-reading this makes it sound so weird, I promise it shouldn't. I just wanted to express myself! :) )
