This was hovering at a strong 4 for a while, dipped into 3.5 territory for just a bit, and then skyrocketed into 5 star territory for the last 30% or so. I had to take breaks and reorient myself in reality every so often, I was so scared. Absolutely delightfully thrilling and a disturbing mindfuck of the best kind.
