The lore is interesting, the story is moving, the gameplay is very fun (halfway between a narrative and meditative game, a washing game, and System Shock 😁), and the art direction is fresh.

Who is responsible here? The engineer who designed the road? The construction industry that uses these killer trucks? The government for refusing even to make sideguards mandatory, let alone regulate truck design as they do in Europe, where the rate of killing and injury has been cut in half?

Meanwhile, in London, the government says, "safe vehicles save lives."

When I was in my early 20s, I spent an unemployed summer selling blood plasma and being lazy. The summer ended, I got a job coaching volleyball, and life went on.
But that summer left me with something to remember it by, and later on I wrote a poem about it.
But that summer left me with something to remember it by, and later on I wrote a poem about it.
![Image of a poem entitled "Idle Markings." The poem is on one page, in two columns. The text of the poem reads:
When I was younger
I spent one idle summer
unemployed
playing volleyball and selling plasma.
Twice a week I’d go and sit,
watching as the alcoholics
tried to squeeze
another bottle from their veins
and flirting with the dark-haired tech
who set my blood to
spinning round in vicious circles
just outside of my body.
Twice a week she’d take my arm
and turn it over in her hands
to find the mark she’d made before,
a healing place
within the hollow of my skin,
then softly tear
a cold new needle
through the forming scar
and open up my body
once more time
to pull my blood apart for me
The whole thing lasted
just about an hour
and after I was done
I’d take my money and my red cells
off to find a sandwich
and some sand.
[this is the bottom of the left-hand column. The next stanza begins at the top of the right-hand column]
I ended that warm summer with a small white mark
inscribed above the vein
in my left arm,
a memory, hand-knitted
to remind me of an idle season’s cost.
For years it has stared up at me,
a silent moment of my past
that I can feel beneath my touch.
Lately, though, I cannot see it when I look,
unless I focus
harder than I should,
and I am left to wonder
if it is so far gone with age that
the echo of the thought
is all that’s left.
Perhaps I need to make fresh scars
to tell the story
of these busy days,
and pull my blood back into view
to mark and see
the time that I have lost
since I’ve forgotten
what it means
to just be idle
in the world.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vtulckfwhlh3ndn4iqfcg3an/bafkreiemjjrg2vtwv463532ekgqfifyddpwdy2mrw2ir3qnmqqtl2jft4q@jpeg)
