It’s where I go to waste time. Sometimes I learn something new, sometimes I have an existential crisis from an interactive plaything, sometimes I build sandcastles and burn them down.
That’s what I came here to say as well. It’s so well done and it hits in such a profound way.
Have you read any of the short stories on the game’s website? I highly recommend it. Catherine’s is so sad and it really gives a ton of insight into what she went through.

Sweet potato fries. Or overly orange fries for any reason (sometimes the frying just seems to make them orange, especially curly fries?).
Was youngish, friend took me out to lunch and I had a meatball sub with sweet potato fries. Yum yum. Until, of course, 3am the next morning when all that came up and was orange and potato-y. I refuse to try them again to this day. Although I love sweet potatoes, lol, just not sp fries.
There’s probably a ton of decisions that I could change, but one of them would be not to join the military and to go to college instead for meteorology. I don’t know where I would be now, maybe in debt and stuck, or maybe really enjoying a career in a field I love. Regardless, it would be interesting.
Otherwise, to not accept the proposal from my then boyfriend. Had we broken up, I feel like I would have figured out my sexuality earlier and potentially been happier. But instead, I’m facing down a divorce and restarting my life all over.
