Just had to turn off Silent Hill: The Short Message.

Might be able to play it with partner around, but the particular subject matter is too heavy and triggering for this one to play alone. V_V

And like, its really frustrating, because I feel like its such “obvious” and trite material for Silent Hill to use?

Like yes, it triggered me. But it feels like a PSA.
“oh no teen suicide is bad”
yeah, thanks silent hill. really complex and morally grey message there.
not.

give me my ritual cult abuse, and my murder/euthanasia dichotomy, and my complicated grief, and my themes of attachment and abandonment, and my weird murder husbandos…
