This game still has me gripped and I've even found myself thinking about real life decisions in the frame of this game haha. During this session, I met Chloe in the parking lot and went back to her place, where I did quite a bit of snooping. There weren't too many important decisions to make here, but when Chloe blamed me for the drugs found in her room, I decided to take the blame without second thought. Often times in this game I have rewound before a decision to check the best course of action, but oddly enough this time I didn't even try. I think it was because I really couldn't see any instance where I would blame her for that. Sure the ramifications for myself are incredibly severe, but the worst is losing an important scholarship. From what I've seen so far, Chloe's stepdad is a pretty intense guy with some pretty intense ideas and incredibly shady actions. I wouldn't put it below him to turn to physical or intense emotional abuse. Also Chloe has obviously been in an incredibly rough state with her dad dying, bills piling up, flunking out of school, possible abusive step-dad, and best friends leaving. The combination of my betrayal and whatever punishment David might have for her could have serious disastrous conclusions. When it came down to it, I found myself weighing my scholarship and the very real possibility of Chloe's life. We often look at our decisions and think "What if..." but this one choice in particular has made me realise that I might not always want to know. Partially becuase of the outcomes, partially becuase of what that other action might say about me as a person.
