Yup, that's everything left to be unpacked--and that's all the rooms of your house. The living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

You check the tap water, just to make sure it works.

It comes on after a small sputter. The water actually looks cleaner than it did in your old town. You turn the faucet off, grab some cheap sodas and some snacks, and head to your bedroom.

You commence the proceedings with a little Captemon--slightly modded, of course. According to the internet, the dating sim function was in the original game, but translators thought it would make Captemon too hard to market here in The States. All the modders really did was translate and patch the dating mechanics back in. It still drives you crazy, though, that dating the human characters and dating the demons is treated as different systems. If the demons are going to act like people, and have personalities and agendas and identities and be people... then shouldn't dating them just be treated as normal?

After a few hours of that, you switch to Crush Souls. This is your bread and butter--your online videos about the game's lore, the level design and how it's all interconnected, and the symbolism in each dating path is what's allowed you to afford this (admittedly very cheap) house. You've done videos about other games, but none with the depth or inaccessibility of Crush Souls. It's a very difficult game where the player is violently murdered over and over and forced to learn and adapt or never progress. That means there's a lot of content that few will ever see, let alone sit down and really think about and put together. You like it that way, though--it should be tough. You want to be challenged. You want to know there's another height to reach, an obstacle you still can't overcome so you have something to strive for. Going online and seeing others be better at the game than you just drives you to learn more. Even the dating sim parts of Crush Souls are difficult. Starting a relationship with any of the women in the game takes immense patience and skill--many people will try and fail over and over again, or maybe never even really work up the courage to try at all and that's fine. Not everyone gets to have that. Not everyone's ready or able to earn the right to be loved and that's reasonable, it
