What I thought was an SCP-style tale turned out about to be about trauma and growing up. Which hit way harder than an SCP story probably would.

I love the suspense and intrigue. It keeps building and building. Although the truth is a bit of a letdown (I really wanted SCPs. Have I mentioned SCPs yet?), I appreciate the message about growing up and living life outside of arbitrary rules. 
Val is such a great character with strong convictions and the drive to conquer everything that comes into her path.

I’d love to see this as a movie. It would be really trippy but really great.
