Y'ALL I AM NOT OKAY
I did it, I beat the game. I finished Pacific Drive.
I AM NOT OKAY!!!!
I am so far from okay. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep. this is so messed up and so wrong, but also so good.
I WANT to explore the rest of hte zones, that much is true. I 100% want to, but, but my character motivation was to go HOME. That was the entire point of the game! The entire point of using the remnant to explore the zone and investigate and gather energy! The entire reason I complied in the first place!
I feel lied to! Used! Manipulated! Robbed!
Three people. Three people in this entire exclusion zone. Those are the only people I have had any semblance of human contact with and I can't even talk to them!!! Three people in this entire adventure. Three people being my only company, motivation, and guide.
One of them is dead. The other peaced out. There's only one left. One. One person in the entire world I'll be able to have any contact with for the rest of my days, and I bet you anything, they're going to die first. I have no way to contact them. They have no way to know I'm alive besides the data my car is sending them. We are alone and isolated in our own versions of this world, and I still have no way out.
I'm still going to try. I'm going to explore every road, investigate every piece of lore or tech or anomaly I come across. I'm still going to complete the catalogue and then maybe. Maybe something will come of it. Or maybe I'm wasting my time.
But I won't know until I try.
I have time, after all.
