I first thought this is a game that tries to make a comment about the community, but as I played through it again and again to try to disect the meanings by analyzing how my theory fits the mechanics, I started to realize it is more a puzzle game. When the intended meaning is hidden from the player, and there isn't an artist statement next the piece like one in a museum, the game functions not like that game that reflects on public opinion or that game that reflects on trust between people, but a puzzle that uses its mechanics and visual as clues for the player to "solve" what it really means. However, it is also possible that this game has no intended meaning, only with vague and broad enough information, that can be interesting too, cause then it opens up space for the player to develop their own interpretation. To take it a further step, when the motifs and imagery are vague enough and the players are searching and solving for the game when there isn't one, it has a satirical effect. This is how I interpreted the game in my case, cause the more detail I notice, the less clear this game is for me. Don't get me wrong, I like how this game gets me to think, like how do the two bars connect with the two types of people? Why are the bars in different colors than the headlesses? Once the chain of question is started I don't see where to stop. Great game.
