40:33 as a taiwanese american who grew up in America, I just want to say that this game was so brain-tinglingly nostalgic with all the little details I recognized from the old 60s built rowhouses and apartments I'd visit family at as a kid. But of all the details in the game, the mosaic bathtub got me the hardest. I have no idea why mosaic bathtubs were a common thing in these older taiwanese houses, but I've never seen them anywhere else in the world. I have memories as a child of giving myself a back massage by laying on my back as the water drained. Not very fun to clean but it was oddly soothing!

Right? It's so sad. I've known so many real-life parents and families who are against psychology and therapy, because of stigma and lack of understanding of what mental illness even is, that they end up depriving their kids of easy and effective treatments and fall into communities like this (cults, or, in North America especially, very obscure holistic remedies that often make things worse). It's depressing.
