About
No horror, no twist. Kel, 22, is admitted after an attempt and spends six weeks learning that recovery is mostly paperwork and other people. Romance is possible with another patient — and the game is honest that this is a bad idea that people do anyway — or with nobody, which is written as a real and good ending, not a failure state. Written with a crisis-resources screen and no depiction of method.
