My time with the Longing came at a point when I was really quite low. Post-breakup and out of college, the very aimless, purposeless, trapped feeling that this game encourages you to grapple with as you spend time with the Shade. It's not for everyone - hell, it's probably not for most people in the traditional 'game' sense, but if you're hurting, lost, or looking for an outlet that will be there day after day, yet let you still live your life, the Longing is an amazing experience I can only heartily recommend.
