I'm looking forward to replaying this game in a decade or two
I was thinking about replayability in games, and how that often means "more content" or gameplay loops built to maximize engagement. In contrast, this game feels like a classic book that you can reread and notice things you hadn't noticed before. Obviously there's NG+ where you get to hear all the dialogue and have the real story make sense. But with the themes of grief and escapism and artists and their art, going through life and its inevitable struggles will give experience that resonates with new parts of the narrative.
My parents aren't old, but they're getting up there. I expect in a couple decades I'll have to deal with a new kind of loss. I think that coming back to this game will help that process.
