The show kept very true to the story, which I enjoyed because I felt as if I was doing my normal rewatch of the show. I loved getting to see a little more of Beth’s internal thoughts, and a little bit more about her time in the orphanage.
However, there was a scene taken out in the show (rightfully, in my opinion.) of childhood sexual assault, which is completely brushed over, something I that I think was really irresponsible of the author. Plus the racial slurs which may have been ‘historically accurate’, but were unneeded. the story was written by a white man, so I don't think it was his place to write racism into a story like this.
This is why the story in my opinion does not warrant five stars despite the rest of story, being one of my all-time favourites.

I did like that the author was able to almost write this like a thriller. Each game has me at the edge of my seat. It was also a bit of an emotional roller coaster with some really high high and some really low lows.
Also it's not listed high in the trigger warnings so there are racial slurs.
