This game is honestly really fun to pick apart. Never played it but the streams ware pretty enjoyable.
I completely expected it to be shit pre-release and it was but it's been in development hell for so long that it's still that 2014 brand of mild cuck humour that's so sincere that you can't actively hate it. It's terrible but still funny instead of irritating.
Fun fact. Out of sick curiosity several years I tried to get a play at some of the trade shows it was demoed at before release. Each time someone was hogging the booth. I now know that it was the slow as fuck movement, menus, dialogue, loading times and combat that was forcing them to do it.
Even before I properly found out from a pre-release article I knew the plot was changed halfway through. Tons of stuff thematically seemed to be building up to an entirely different conclusion. I wonder if the story would have been less stupid if they kept the original last third.
Also lol at the developers trying to rationalize the game after the fact as "triggering" and "redpilling" and that's why nobody bought it. An interesting tactic but it was blatant that it wasn't their intentions unless the whole thing was some elaborate satire.
