I lost my father this year to cancer. I'll miss you, Dad. No words need to be said. We all have to keep moving forward.
Wake up -> Daily chores -> Think of me wifey -> Carve a tribute to wife -> Sleep. This game summarized. Like, I get it, they want us to be in his shoes, life is monochrome without my other half, it's a cliche. But most games, at least the ones I played so far these repetitive moments are inserted into the middle of the game only for like 2 or 3 loops, then after followed by a number of more sped up loops that play...
