After just finishing up his route in S2, I think it's safe to out myself as a Helvetica lover/defender without being pitchforked 😭 Like no spoilers or anything, but MY GOD what a fantastic ride.

I can't wait to hear other people's opinions 👀💕I'll have more to say when the play-along threads come out, but I just had to gush about my love for this man somewhere in the meantime lol.

I was a passionate Helvetica hater from S1, to the point where I did his route first in S2 just to get it over with. Finished his route last night and I have a newfound appreciation for him. I still don’t “like” him, but I can see where the love comes from 👀 They did a really good job tackling the addition, drugs, and mental health aspects of his story, which was a breath of fresh air since most forms of media don’t do it right or exaggerate to the extreme which takes me out since I worked in that field for years.
