Working title: In retrospect: The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters
There are many horror games that have a school as their setting. For example “Little Nightmares”, “Corpse Party”, etc. All of them by design or by accident function as metaphors for how unhealthy the modern school system can be.
Yet, I think that “The Coma: Recut” was the best at integrating horror gameplay with the premise that the Korean education system can be very unhealthy.
This is a review for the sequel of “The Coma: Recut”. Does this game improve upon its predecessor or is it a disappointing sequel?

Working title: Comparing Persona 1 and 2 to Persona 3, 4 and 5.
Those who have played the very first Persona games say that they have the best stories. Yet, hardly anyone nowadays has played those games and only knows that they existed at some point.

Working title: Chaos Magic and Neuro Linguistic Programing
Many orthodox religions, occult orders, modern paganism, and similar communities or movements might be utterly wrong about the existence of supernatural beings and powers.
Yet, is it possible to use the rituals, spells, and other practices that historically have been used to supernaturally manipulate the world around us to improve one’s mental health?

MELKOR DID NOTHING WRONG…
Some are primed to de facto hate characters like the Joker or Sauron and Melkor, the Dark Lords of Middle-earth, without ever bothering to relate or to find reason in their actions.
You might ask, “Why should I?”
Because any one of us could have been in a similar position to Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker or Melkor, the future Dark Lord, thus, it is worthwhile to imagine and analyze how we would act in such circumstances so that we do not become like them.
