The last time I played Hello Charlotte games (HC) many years ago. I didn’t think much about them since then even though they heavily influenced me when I was a teenager. But recently the memories about some moments in HC started flowing in my brain once again. And, I miss this series so much!
When I played it for the first time, I was an ignorant and desensitized kiddo who could wade through tons of gore and trauma that this game throws at you. Nowadays, I’ve became softer regarding this stuff. I’m worried that I mightn’t take it as easily if I’d try.
I’m curious to know if anyone else here played the series and what your thoughts on it. Or maybe you have similar experience with another important media!
Only one way to find out! 😬
Not with gore or trauma, but I have realized that I have become more sensitive to emotionally charged media. Sad games or movies didn’t use to move me, but nowadays I feel like I’m brought to tears a lot more easily. Same with happy things like redemption or forgiveness.
Same! Back in the day I could play Undertale’s genocide route without feeling much but nowadays even just reading through a good ending of a romantic manga makes me all teary.
And Hello Charlotte is one of the most honest pieces of media I’ve experienced. It’s like the author lets you into her inner world for awhile, with all the trauma and pain she’s been through hidden behind a thin veil of metaphors, using gore and pain to tell a story much more terrible than its components.
