Lucren personality is definitely attractive but not sure associating him with capitalism is going great XD
Identity personality isn't very clear here, perhaps later?
Haha, the deity of Communism is definitely skulking around somewhere. Maybe we could have included them if this wasn't a NaNoRenO submission...
And don't worry, Lucren is totally meant to be Like That. Mania (rhymes with Sonya or Anya btw) has a less intense personality than Lucren or Mesmeri but hopefully becomes more apparent in part 2
Excited for ep 3!
Thanks for your interest in our game! From the phrasing of your second sentence, I'm a little confused about whether you are pro- or anti- capitalism, but I'm guessing it's the latter. Either way:
This is not a pro-capitalist game. Lucren represents a toxic part of the world that is driving it to ruin, just as Mesmeri and Mania represent toxic parts of their domains. While we used the framework of a dating sim (because, as you say, it's cute and funny), the primary purpose of the game is social commentary and critique.
However, we are not solely interested in judging capitalism (or communism) as good or bad. Rather, we wanted to tell a story that earnestly engages with people's desire for a better world, without denying the difficult reality that progression is a process and answers do not come easily.
I hope that answers your question!
Episode 3! This one took longer to process since it's bigger than Episode 1 and 2! It's the whole part 2 since I feel it wouldn't be too good splitting the part. It was nice knowing there's a deeper exploration of each characters we met, though I feel it is too long? Well could be my bias.
There were a lot of meme reference but only some with pictures, well it's still fine.
Also good job with the link O_O
