It's not funny on a surface level and it only gets less so when you actually think about it - when I was 14 this game was a fascination of mine because what other game has mechanics like using a cat as a silencer, or pissing everywhere? In retrospect, I definitely mistook novelty for quality.
Also in retrospect, it's probably good that 14-year-old me thought this game didn't really have anything serious to say outside of the in-game protest. I was wrong, of course - it has plenty to say, but it's nothing meaningful, it's said poorly, and the ideas contained therein are not worth the time it takes to uncover them - they are certainly not worth the time it takes to make an entire goddamn video game.

i do sound like a blowhard here but oh well, it's all true
Oh yeah I don't like this game either so I'm mostly in agreement.
