It’s a procedurally generated story game where you play a teenager in an repressive government that looks like the 90s American southwest. The writing is very “first year film student” but I like the characters well enough. Can’t tell if the themes are leftist or lib yet since I haven’t beaten it, some of the content gives me mild #Resistance vibes tho.
Report back when I finish it, which will probably be tonight.
I just finished it, and dug the hell out of it.
talkin about the ending
until the ending, which I didn't hate but it definitely failed to pay off the game leading up to it. The final scene is so contrived it completely broke the tension for me, and the acting falls off a cliff and becomes laughable.
I got the "revolution" ending, where the uprising is portrayed as a good thing - though the game has a bit of a lib moment when it arbitrarily decides that terrorism is okay sometimes but not specifically the plan that's been getting built up to all game.
I also apparently missed out on a couple of EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CHARACTER MOMENTS because of the game's randomized nature. This completely killed whatever gas the ending might have had left, because I was scratching my head wondering why certain things were happening and why certain characters were making certain choices.
Despite that it was about 95% good so I'm planning to at least see every scene before I put it down.
