At the end, I got promoted.
And instead of celebrating, I honestly feel like I want to throw up.
I grew up reading about things like this in history books, and with everything happening around me now, there were moments playing this game where I had this awful feeling that we’re living history circle back around.
You hit the nail on the head with every detail: the way things escalate, the language that gets twisted, the things that get quietly changed or redacted. And most of all, the way each compromise feels small and justifiable for the increase of simple % score in the moment, until you look back and realize what you’ve done.
I really enjoyed the other aspects of the game too, but honestly, after finishing it, I feel like a shell of a human being. Which probably means you did something very, very right.
I wish I could praise the creators more eloquently right now, because this game affected me far more deeply than I expected it to. It’s uncomfortable, but in the best possible way, in a way that actually makes you think.
Thank you for making something that doesn’t just ask you to play a dystopia, but makes you feel complicit in it.
