How to disable a robot dog if it attacks you by Hoog
I know the joke is that Ghost Trick fans can't tell you why to play it, just that you should, but here's some spoiler-free reasons to play it:
It's an incredible puzzle game. The puzzles are basically Rube-Goldberg machines, where you manipulate objects in a series to effect change in the overall situation. Do you like complex mechanisms and the concept of the butterfly effect? Play this.
The basic gameplay: you are a ghost. You have the ability to posses and manipulate objects, and move from object to object. Someone bas died. You can go to four minutes before their death to change their fate using your Rube Goldberg powers. Also! The puzzles do a great job of ramping you up in difficulty and teaching you the gameplay, but wow do they get HARD in late game. You can replay any puzzle, and also rewind time as you wish. You can't lock yourself out of things by doing it wrong, since you can redo.
The story is SO GOOD. There's a reason why everyone tells you as little as possible -- it's a compelling mystery that sucks you in. The basic idea: you are dead. You need to figure out who you are and who killed you. This spins out into a tale of political intrigue.
It's by Shu Takumi, the creator of Ace Attorney. It has very similar vibes, in that it's absolutely bonkers characters and situations but also WILL make you cry once it's all revealed. Great mix of serious and humorous tones. Seriously, someone dies when a giant roast chicken statue falls on them and the root cause is because of [serious political events]
The aesthetics. Great music, great character design, have you SEEN what the game looks like? Really good use of color and stylization. Character animations are often hilarious.
Missile is there. You WILL love bestest boy. Don't google him. Just trust.
Lots of CBT therapists claim that reducing the patient to an incoherent sobbing mess every session is how therapy is supposed to work. Lots of them sit there smiling proudly when they torment a patient past coherent thought, and they make no effort to support or stabilize that patient. Same energy as a child burning ants with a magnifying glass. Except that in this case, the child is claiming that the ants are responsible for the fire actually, and that they can stop being on fire if they ~*~*~*jUsT bE MiNdFuL*~*~*~ while doing a bunch of pointless fucking worksheets.
If CBT feels abusive to you, then it IS. It can be very invalidating to people with PTSD/c-PTSD, chronic pain, and other conditions because it refuses to acknowledge the real world, instead framing everything as the patient's silly little delusions. If this feels like your situation, then the bravest thing you can do is end therapy and remove yourself. You deserve compassionate help, not another predator enjoying your pain.
