Husk and its wise message about life

A warm hello to all of my dear, patient readers!;)

Without any unnecessary introductions, I would love to present you a game which in my opinion involves a pretty important issue and breaks an old, prevalent stereotype, made and spread thoughtlessly by our society. Husk is a new creation of a polish studio called UndeadScout, the people who were partially responsable for Kholat (which I highly recommend for those of you who love unconventional horror games with a gripping plot). So let's look attentively at the storyline which is hidden behind the title Husk. It concentrates on the man who sinks into a coma after a horrible rail accident. He is locked in a world crafted by his own mind, in a place which used to be his hometown. It is based on his childhood recollections, accompanied by monsters which symbolise his personal fears. During his journey, the man comes across objects and visits places constituting mementos which awake painful memories slowly revealing his sad past. It turns out that the father of our main character was an alcoholic and he mistreated him and his mother. We, the observers, are given a picture of a man who caused nothing but pain, who abused of his loved ones and, what's worse, he blamed them for his behaviour. Later, the man uncovers his own sins as the ghosts of the past and remorse are getting stronger. We see that even though he deeply hated his father for what he had done to him and his mom, he repeated his mistakes. He was, himself, an alcoholic who hit his wife, the women he loved with all his heart. As the story comes slowly to its end, the man recovers consciousness and finds out that his wife, after months of visiting him, decided to move on and leave him. While being in a coma and wandering around the world from the darkest nightmares he heard a chunks of long monologues his beloved said as she was sitting next to his hospital bed. She claimed that even though he had mistreated her she loved him but she is exhausted of it and wanted to free herself from him. In the last scene, the man admits that he truly deserved it and that it was his own choice to do exactly the same what he father did. 

I believe it is an important lesson. I love that producers show that our past, other people, tragic events influence us but they do not determine us. Against the common belief, it is us who decide to what degree we permit our environement and particular events to modify our true self, to change our personality or attitude towards others. In the end of the day it is our choice which path we will choose to follow and what people we will become. The creators of the storyline should be praised for proving that statements like this one: 'I drink because my father drank' don't make sense because it is you who willingly inherited your parent's bad habit, it is you who willingly repeated your parent's mistakes. It is such a great, wise message about life which we should keep in our minds.

I highly recommend this game for those of you who love this kind of entertainment. The graphic is really pretty, maybe it is not a masterpiece but it truly deserves to be seen at least because of the incredible message it carries. That's all for today, if you have other opinion or want to add something new, please do it!;) Bye!;)
