You clearly haven't watched enough cheesy horror movies. Not liking her and she being poorly written are two different things. Throughout most of the game, she annoys me, yes, but she isn't poorly written. She just says/does things I wouldn't, and folks I know wouldn't, but is believable and plenty of people are like her. It's very 'teen girl-esque' and doesn't even touch on the fact that she is living in a post-pandemic dystopia. 

I get not liking the direction of the story (now that I've played through it), but at no point was its writing not up to par (in my eyes). 

Exactly.

The fact the game got me sad and made me question myself doesn't have anything to do with it being bad, actually its the opposite, it got emotions from me I was not expecting to have, at some points I reacted like those  fake youtube reaction videos, but for real.

It reminded from Berserk, where the author was able to make me genuinely hate with burning anger a fictional character like it was real, it speaks for itself how damn good executed was it.

A lot of people simply associate not liking something with it being bad, and that's ironic, actually.

4 words, Berserk is a masterpiece.
