The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is a deeply disturbing, yet masterfully written experience. It dives headfirst into the darkest aspects of the human condition — trauma, codependency, abuse, obsession, and the loss of innocence — all presented through the twisted relationship between two siblings raised in an utterly broken home.

The game doesn't shy away from taboo subjects like incest, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dysfunction, and psychological manipulation, but never feels exploitative. Instead, it uses these elements to tell a raw, tragic story about two people shaped by unimaginable neglect and abuse. The writing is bold, sharp, and emotionally devastating.

Ashley is one of the most morally bankrupt characters I've seen in a game — manipulative, cruel, obsessive — but somehow, when I reached the point where Andrew finally snapped and physically attacked her after being pushed beyond his limits... I felt overwhelming pity for her.

And that’s the brilliance of this game.

Despite how wrong she is, the writing allowed me to glimpse her broken humanity. I didn’t want her to "win," but I also didn’t want her to be destroyed like that. The pain, the hopelessness — it hit harder than I expected.

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is not a comfortable game. It’s not meant to be. It’s a psychological descent into people who never had a chance, and it made me feel things I didn’t think I would for characters so morally lost. That, to me, is a testament to incredible storytelling.
