I had to go back and restart the game. RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING.

No you didn't. It would have played out the same way no matter what. Your hand even grows back, because the artist was too lazy to even try and pretend there were consequences.

I get having a "best" storyline in a game with choices. Outside of really well made games, that is sorta inevitable. But at least try to develop alternate plotlines. They can be shorter or not as good. That's fine. But having the illusion of choice on a linear path is just offensive. If I wanted that, I'd read a book or watch a movie.

Because of things like "gameplay" and "choice", I'm willing to cut video games a fair amount of slack on the plot front. But this is a bad graphic novel and a bad game. Where is the upside?

Like, wtf happened with the devil lady? Did we have some scene missing stuff because we made a wrong choice?

If you can believe it the blue lady appearing isn't even dependent on getting the tattoo or meeting Peg. Finish the game with high soul and she just shows up along with the tattoo, from the "I woke up" line.

To be fair, I did play the game when I heard about it back when this LP was just a single page long. I played the free chapter, and I only recently learned that the game basically pigeonholes you into the story regardless of the choices you make. If I had known that, I would have continued the story anyway despise what happened.
