questionable narrative decisions aside, another thing that makes death of the outsider stand out among the rest for me is just how lonely the game feels. other protagonists always had some sort of alliances/teamplay going on: we dispatched our enemies of their allies and gathered our own in a complex political intrigue, it was a game of chess rather than a duel, whereas in doto there's just... billie vs. the world, billie fixing everyone's mistakes for nothing but atonement, she's on her own with the ghosts of her past and weight of the world on her shoulders and it just feels lonely
#it's been years since i last touched doto but yep it's just how i remember it#sad sad game#not bad sad but still sad#daud's presence only adds to the feeling of solitude because billie must part with him as soon as she finds him#and i wonder if billie spends more time talking with rats than people#midlife crisis has never been harder on anyone else#fascinating woman#lex.txt
