I’m not a “you must play every game” person by a long shot, but if you’ve never played a game with a story you loved or a story-from-systems narrative that struck you, idk, you probably haven’t played enough varied games

Facists love dooming and glooming. Stop ceding your power to them.

Yeah, it’s weird even thinking that the PS5 is 5 years old, it doesn’t feel like it. Honestly I feel the generation could easily last until 2030 before a new console makes sense.

Also curious; Did you Max the character relationship levels before finishing the game? If you haven't, I do think one flaw is that the quest that goes with Maelle's relationship level should've been mandatory before reaching the end because the subtext of the endings refer to it heavily.

I'm curious what themes you think run counter to the endings.
Honestly, I admire the game's boldness in refusing to give a clear "good/bad ending," but instead gives the player an impossible trolley problem that can only end in tragedy due to the flaws of both characters.
