Admittedly, I wasn't going to write a review on this game until I had beaten it (I still haven't). But as for why I reccomend this game, despite of the way it continues to frustrate me, have some backstory. This game dropped December of 2017, and I had received it from a friend as a way to make fun of me for being bad at games. However, my girlfriend at the time had only recently broken up with me and I found out later she cheated on me. Now, I realize most people reading this won't care, but this game serves as a cathartic way to reflect on things. The dev makes some good points in the way the game industry is etc, but I found myself coming back in 2018 to this, looking for answers. I wanted to know why beating difficult things, or doing well in school for instance just doesn't feel good anymore. I suppose the answer I am assembling from this game, is that truthfully, the effort you put into something may not equal the return, and yet other times the pay off may be worth it, only to leave you high and dry after a while. Reading between the lines, I feel getting over it is also a commentary on scaling the peaks that we make in our lives, they become so much easier to climb once we realize we're the one making them.
TL;DR: I reccomend this game, it will frustrate you, but that is the point.
I will update this review at time of first successful climb.

EDIT: As of January 1st, 2019, after a run of 6h:51m:41.752s I successfully have beaten this game. May the worries and the pain I leave in 2018 and beyond be a testement to one man's will to go beyond obstacles in their life.

EDIT 2: As of January 11th, 2019, after a run of 6h 00m 26.977s, I have beat the game and not streamed it, this truly was a rewarding experience
