Chat!! You wouldn't believe we finally got an age reveal for KAngel!!! (...Actually it has been
out for a while but I did not pay any attention towards it... Woe on me..) we previously were given an estimate about her age being somewhere in her 20s!! But now we finally have a number!! It's 24!! Honestly pretty fitting! It hits hard because 24 is a very real, very raw age for someone like her.
Ame being 24.... not some naive teenager, adds a brutal layer of realism to the game’s themes. It’s not just about "youthful rebellion" or a girl lost in early chaos...it’s about a grown adult who’s deeply struggling, someone who should “have it together” by society’s standards but is spiraling in a world that’s relentless and exploitative.... At 24, you’re expected to be finding your place....but she’s slipping through the cracks, clinging to fleeting internet fame, trauma-laced affection, and empty validation for people around her....
It emphasizes how mental health issues, addiction, codependency, and online persona obsession don't magically go away with age. They evolve...and often get worse if untreated. So her age forces players to reflect. This isn’t just a phase. This is a life unraveling in real time.
It hurts more because she’s 24. It’s a perfect narrative decision in my opinion!
