    I would agree with them, it was a bit on the nose. I would argue that may have been on purpose though. I have the feeling the developer wanted to get their message across and went all in for that, instead of using analogies or keeping things a bit more vague. The rest of the game is too well written for the politics part to be this way because of a lack of writing skill or creativity. Maybe they just really wanted everyone to understand what this is about.

    Like I said, it is very much on the nose, but I can get behind that, if the dev thinks that is something we need right now in the world. Which I would agree with.

      It takes a lot of inspiration from Disco Elysium, which is not subtle at all (and is extremely memorable for it). Having an election be a constant thing that you had to think about was an interesting way to work it into the world imo.

          Oh it hammed it up for sure, to me it added to the charm but I can totally get if you weren’t expecting it in the setting.
