This game gave me a lot of emptiness and dread because it was a story of close and interesting relationships, the former I don't have and the latter I'm not sure is possible with those I know. It actually angered me because, me being largely a recluse, being alone was fine and it didn't bother me ...

Yep, one day all that will remain is a vague recollection and then I'll stumble upon this and other experiences of my youth.

I think most of us here share in the happiness of having experienced KS once the feels wear off. As I've said before it kind of leaves you feeling introspective and it's up to the individual to parse through the feels in order to find out why you feel this way.

It gets better. It's been a while since I lasted played KS and if I stumble upon a KS song while I'm shuffling it no longer draws upon the feelings I experienced. I suppose it is good and bad, I was extremely introspective following my first few KS playthroughs but I was also feeling a tad depressed ...

I don't think I could tell my friends/family about KS. If someone else wants to find it, it's out there for them but I'm not telling someone else about my personal experience.

@ Shadowyeclipse It sounds like you might be a bit self-absorbed, like me. I've had some trouble when it comes to reading other people and gauging their intentions and for a while there I was at a loss as to why I couldn't grasp these seemingly simple concepts. After my latest unsatisfying ...

I've sunk around 150 hours in Civ 5 but I never got any feels from it (other than being mad at Montezuma cause he aggros). I sure as heck did from KS and is definitely the reason it so remarkable to me.

Always room for more.

I'm telling you man, I've been through relationships where we were both overly reliant on a physical connection and that cannot last. While I do think that KS can be somewhat cliche but I'd like to believe that kind of connection is out there.

It may have been an overstatement, but from my perspective I've had success with relationships but not of the lasting kind. I can connect on a shallow level with just about anyone but it's been a while since I've really forged an understanding with another person. Could you explain how others don't ...

To me, the value that I took away from KS was that I'm still able to connect on a non-physical level with something . Now that I'm in my mid-twenties I've run through the gamut of relationships and for the past couple of years it's been mostly unsatisfying on a mental level. It was refreshing to be ...

I see what you did there.

Oh my goodness. I was kind of pleasantly KS took the high road concerning rather outlandish scenarios.

To be honest it gets a little confusing trying to divorce yourself from other endings towards the end. Too many self-contained universes in each playthrough, WHY ISN'T HANAKO TALKING TO ME....oh wait different story.

Well there you go. Must've been one of the other endings I missed and had to replay.
