On 'Let Him Go' [ROBLOX]

[This is not meant to attack anybody, including the creators and people who enjoy the game. This is a personal opinion of mine as someone who used to be a fan of the game.]
[SPOILERS AHEAD]


Very recently I've seen several people have visible interest in Let Him Go, a psychological horror story-based game with multiple endings. As someone with undiagnosed BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), I really related to the game (notably Spawn as a character) with how often I spiraled being unable to let go of the people I was close to in my life.

Looking back at it, I think the story could be a little better. It's really predictable and a lot of the scare factor relies on loud noises. The default ending bothers me the most. The whole April Fools' parry ending that I've recently discovered leaves a really bad taste in my mouth considering the subject matter and how it relates to me.

No, I do not like the fact that there is a roleplay game, either.
The badge "BROKEN SPAWN BE LIKE" and the description being "get hit by car lol" in reference to Broken Spawn committing suicide is really harrowing to me. I find it weird how the same devs treating it as more serious in the original game decide to make it a joke in their roleplay game.
Even if it's just dark humor, it does not feel right seeing this in the eyes of someone who was suicidal herself.

Maybe it's also the way BPD is treated in this game and the psychological horror aspect of it. It rubs me the wrong way.

You are free to input how you feel if you have also played this game. I more-so want to hear what other people who have BPD think about it and how the subject was handled. Personally, it makes me feel gross looking back at it.
