3.0

The RPG game scenes dragged a bit for me and I found myself skipping over them, but aside from that, this was a really insightful look at the reality of OCD and how parents who are trying to protect their kids don’t always make the right choices. 

I would have liked to see more of a resolution for the mc’s sister, but ultimately this was not her story.

Anxiety and compulsions are depicted as bees flying around the main character's head, while what's going on around him can fade into black and white background if the bees are too plentiful. A really great portrayal of mental health struggles, and complex family dynamics.
