Is this playable for someone who is a bit sensitive towards blood, but really sensitive towards arteries?
Blood plays a very large part in both the story and game
Arteries also play a very large part in both.
The game would definitely make you think and confront those sensitivities directly and often.
Thanks for the answer. Seems like I need to skip this one. Shame since it looks really cool
Just Incase it could make you reconsider, the game is disturbing in a myriad of ways, basically designed to touch deeply any person who engaged with it. It should be thought of less as a game ment to be enjoyable and more like art that you "should" experience. Though I understand it isn't for everyone. Hell, vast majority of people who think it is for them dont finish the first day of the game. But there is a message in that game worth seeing. Either way, I had to try one more time. I respect your decision either way.
Those are totally valid point and I thank you for making them. I need to see whether parts of the game feel tense which is fine, or they make me physically impossible for me to play, since some sort of description of blood and venes just makes my head spin and knocks me out sometimes.
I get the great artistic picture and how the game is not meant to be nice, since it does not deal with nice themes. I'm happy the artistic vision got through and it seems to be a succes based on community response
