This game was written from the perspective of a kid that is just dead inside. He wakes up one day and decides to do something about it. This game is definitely something that deserves multiple runs.
Heed the warning at the beginning though. While there are good paths where your character comes out of his shell and the next day looks brighter, there are several paths where he's happy living in a new degenerate lifestyle, and paths where he can become an absolute monster. Choices definitely matter in this game.
