Lives up to its name. Finally a game whose main character I can relate to. In fact if he says "in fact" one more time I'm going to break something.. surprised at how polished the game is. enjoyed it.. And so, this game makes me uncomfortable in ways I can't describe. My name is max and i feel personally attacked by this game.. So rare to see a game about a real-life disorder come together with RPG elements.

Guided by his inner self in the form of a dinosaur, Max attempts to reconcile his own identity with his mental problem and the world around him. Where Shinjis internal struggle ends happily, for Max there are no congratulations, and when the scene ends he finds himself locked within a room of isolation. Indeed, Maxs life appears to be one of etern
