Thought I'd check here as I've not visited in a while. Instantly made to feel like I've missed an appointment for a coffin fitting. Just like old times, ironically.

"You can do whatever you want!"
This definitely broke, expanded and rewired my brain. A game where the rules encouraged you to do whatever you wanted? It wasn't a series of choices? I could choose to not even undertake the quest I'd been offered, wander into the woods and even become the antagonist?
