I'm partway through my first route (James) and was really enjoying the game... until the angels showed up. That in itself wasn't too bad. Co-opting a little more religious imagery to flesh out the universe isn't a bad thing, especially since "demons" and "angels" have basically become part of pop culture. Obviously these beings are no more related to Christian angels than the demons are to Christian demons (that is, not at all). That was my thought process, anyway, as I continued to play the story.

And then the use of cross symbols started.

I'll just go ahead and say it. I found that offensive. Extremely offensive. After all the consideration shown about trigger warnings and consent, to then use a religion's most holy symbol in such terrible ways... I couldn't believe it. And I was very disappointed, since until now I've loved just about everything in Michaela Laws' various games. I understand there was no malice here, only ignorance, or, at worst, a vague contempt for anyone who "takes these things seriously," but I still had to say something. I'm going to have a lot of trouble enjoying the rest of this game.
