I did expect an anti-capitalist piece of media but what I didn't expect was glorification of other, arguably less ethical political theories. I don't exactly disagree, as I take no stance, but I didn't want it shoved in my face so blatantly, that's the point I was trying to make. I do think that the brainwashing bit was a stretch as well, I mentioned that in the original post, it was just my brain going a bit wild with the idea. Something that I read from another user, "Flogger" was that the "sorry for colonizers" was unnecessary, it just felt random and like a way to have others who the think the same way say something "deep" about the game. Of course, in the end, none of this matters, my rating was just a critique, nothing more, nothing less, I'm glad you and everyone else who enjoyed it just as much as I did and I am also thankful you replied respectfully, I expected to have preteen alt tiktok girls with kuromi profile pictures to spam me to tell me how I was wrong because everyone should have anything they want.

I enjoyed it and it was interesting to find that this game had an actual narrative and a very.. *questionable* one. It seems the game is trying to force it's ideas and regimes, it might be a stretch obviously but kind of like a mild/subtle brainwashing. The game is quite clearly idealizing communism/socialism/idealism which in their own right are all not really the best, while trying to completely disregard religion/capitalism which, I should say, are also not the best in regards to political theory. This is shown through the characters, MB being the obvious "villain" (capitalism),
Dirt being portrayed as a strange religion obsessed weirdo (religion, obviously lol), Doc, Teach and the Otaku girl (forgot her name) being the first three theories mentioned (of course some representing each individual more or less than others). TK is seemingly dragged into this strange situation out of the blue and Teach and the otaku chick seem to believe he's bad for apparently not realizing MB was corrupt (also can I just say there was absolutely no reason for Teach to be as much as a dick to TK as he was, he did absolutely nothing to him). The game wants you to side with Teach and the otaku for the sole reason that they are angry at him. The only "good" character in this game is doc (and arguably Dirt, although there are rarely chats with him), he's the only one genuinely trying to help while taking *almost* everything into consideration as should the smart, glasses. big word speaking trope characters do, while Teach and the otaku yell at him and MB sits back, I do have to say though, you portrayed MB's personification very nicely through his character, albeit, very straight forward and obvious (maybe cartoonish exaggeration? this is a game after all). I could go on about so much more, this game made me think quite a bit, but I feel I've typed too much already, no one is gonna read all the way to here, but I feel that I've covered the narrative side of the game for the most part, the gameplay is just your cookie cutter idle stuff.
All in all, the game is fine, with a nice little twist on this genre. I do wish the game wasn't so blatantly biased and centric though.
