the intro made it feel like a very lofty game which did not make the best first impression. it did win me back a little bit with the voice lines and NPCs but eventually it lost me again with the ways it approached its political ideologies. it's too meta for me to take it seriously but not silly enough for just passive consumption. at times the dialogues were in im14andthisisdeep territories which really gave me the ick. i reaaaallly wanted to get into this game but it just wasn't for me in the end and that's okay.
