Having been forced to play Silent Hill 3, I'm making Tem play a game I can watch in retaliation. We're working our way through Raging Loop!

Raging Loop is an odd visual novel. It feels a bit like it was written by a very sophisticated neural network, or by extraterrestrials who don't entirely understand how human beings think and interact. Everyone's behaviour is just slightly off.

At one point the protagonist spends ages thinking, 'But why would this person run away from the village? Is she trying to escape a crime she committed? Did someone betray her? Did she see something terrible? There must be a reason.' He does not, at any point, consider whether it might be because the village is plagued by werewolves that are murdering people on a nightly basis.

I'm very confused. I don't expect the rest of the game to confuse me any less, but I don't imagine I'll be bored, at least.
