    One of the most scary games for me just because of how real the story feels. Kids being cruel and adults doing nothing to properly teach them. Teachers being absolutely ignorant to children issues and punishing whoever they got first, not caring, who is really guilty. And yeah, sadly, families like this are a common thing, at least from the stories I hear.
    Also, the way every character speaks here also feels natural

      What do you mean by parents doing nothing? The Agatha father beat her I think every time she misbehaving, bc she had 0 wish to go home . And Jonathan said that if your parents beat you that means that they love you. I think his parents beat him too, and very often, and then apologize and say that they love him and doing it only for him? That's why he is thinking that doing cruel pranks and then just a single apology can make things better. Parent's do a lot in this game.

If a Pagan God Punches you, it's because they've taken time out of their schedule, to specifically make you suffer in a way that is going to hurt you the most, because YOU are awful.

    The most horrifying part is how believable it all feels. I've gotten the impression that too many of the Slavic people live in incredibly brutal environments and I feel all the different parts of this game lean into it. From the cruel pranks, to the dad, to the one teaching bemoaning that "you're just as heartless as the rest of the world," to the other teacher refusing to care anymore. There is a theme of an incredibly cruel environment that spares no one, that the ones who survive the monsters are the monsters.

    Ms. Vishnevska was an angel. I hate it when rotten kids torture kind teachers like that.
    I had one like that in high school. She was very sweet, very caring, understanding and forgiving. The students verbally harassed her: mocked her choice of vocation, called her fat and ugly, refused to answer her when she asked questions about the lessons. They also "pranked" her fairly often: stealing her supplies, hiding them in high places she couldn't reach, put things under or around her desk so she'd trip or knock things over.
    She also quit, but it was quietly and sad. She was just gone one day.
    I was always kind and honest with her. I thanked her as often as I remembered for being our teacher. As a 14 year old, I didn't know what else to do.
    I knew to tell adults if I was being harassed, or if another student was being harassed. But in my undeveloped brain, I didn't know or think to tell someone if an adult was being bullied.
    Kids can be cruel and vicious for no reason. Manly did point out that it often comes from broken backgrounds, but sometimes it seems like they just enjoy being mean. Like a power trip or something.
    (I'm thinking of one guy in particular. I knew his family cuz I was good friends with his younger sister. They were really nice, generous with their love and affection. Even with him. When he was with them he was a completely different person. Polite, grateful, responsible. I don't know what his deal was.)

    The minute Johan started talking about "having fun" with a rat before killing it pretty much tells you right away he's a psychopath, so every red herring after that was pretty easy to ignore.
    Kind of annoying when a character is extremely dumb and naive when it's obvious what's going on, but the kid *is* a kid and doesn't know he's in a horror game. What did he do, though, just sleep while Johan was in his closet all night? Didn't check it? Closets don't lock from the inside, so it doesn't really make sense and I find it kind of dissatisfying that there's only one ending and it winds up with you dying like an idiot.
    I imagine the reason so many horror games give you multiple endings is so that you can get some kind of catharsis from beating the killer, even if the "better" ending isn't ideal.

Agatha said she was having an asthma attack and she was like "I'm so tired of this shit" and didn't even listen to Filip later on. Not a single ounce of care.
