Have you ever played a video game that changed your way of thinking?
For me, that game was Umineko.
During the 2020 lockdowns, I had time to immerse myself in the game's world, narrative, and gameplay mechanics. This mystery visual novel requires players to uncover its intricate and complex plot through unique methodology to its gameplay.
I will explore what led me to invest hundreds of hours in the game, and how it impacted me, using Lacanian, Freudian, and Jungian psychoanalysis.

Yes, I know, it's not a music track upload - why would I have such a sudden change of youtube video styles? It's for a university assignment where I create a video essay on a video game, and I put in enough effort that I might as well make it public. But I did put in a zts-style original song that I composed in the background at 1:47, if that counts.
