What if the 20-year-old who inherited your fake identity is cooler than you were before, and younger than you’ll ever be again? How do you explain to your friends that you really like your boring office job? Why does being around your family make you relapse into your worst self? And how do you ask for things to change, when you also need everything to stay the same? Together, the friends weave complex webs of multiplayer-only strategies To avoid hurting someone else’s feelings, they come up with complex solutions to problems that they are too afraid to face head-on – the thing is, they keep finding new ways to make mistakes, but the one thing they always succeed at is showing up for each other.
