You know, I find it interesting to look at this game's place in gaming community. Compare this to say, Undertale, that became an image macro/text board darling on Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr. This game owes its collective mindshare to streaming, because what's fun about unfun games? Seeing other people struggle through them :P
I also wonder how much of this game's position right now to the recent upswing in discussion and following of "tough games" and people who play them in order to mark themselves as "players of hard games."
Interesting stuff.
I still need to play the game, got it from Humble Monthly after all, but been busy lately :3
