Sep 29, 2025If a game is willing to explore such complex and difficult topics, it needs to be prepared to tackle those topics head-on and say something. Instead, the game just sort of ends without any resolution or final thoughts, and leaves the player wondering what the whole point of this was. I think there are some people out there who will connect with Jenny’s story more than I did and be able to overlook the monotonous gameplay, but in the end, Consume Me just left me feeling numb to the experience as a whole.

Sep 24, 2025Consume Me exists in a long tradition of girlhood literature, young adult coming-of-age films, and feminist indie games, but what makes it stand out is Hsia’s unique perspective on her experience. At every turn, she resists the urge to reduce fictional Jenny to a troubled kid in a heavy-handed cautionary tale that mines her pain for morals.

Oct 6, 2025There’s a risk in having Consume Me end without some distinct resolution, but it’s just another example of why the game works: it’s a confident memoir that doesn’t shy away from the messy bits.
