Maybe frogs are people, too.
What is a person? What is the checklist of criteria for being a person? Is it language? Maybe empathy? Does that make zoo apes that have learned American Sign Language people? Where is the line? What are people?
At this point I decided to branch out and explore the places that Big Ominous Voice In The Sky told me not to explore. It's a strange feeling to realize that the game exists outside of what the game tells you. I'm so used to games existing in a box that's predetermined and can't be expanded on a whim. And of course it's just a box that's bigger than the box that they advertise, but it's still a bit uncomfortable for me but also liberating to go past what I'm used to experiencing as a player.
