@coriander I haven't played it. is it supposed to be?
@Taweret Not really
Like, there IS a central mystery that you are trying to solve but at the end of the day the mystery is secondary to everything else the game is doing and saying
The solution to the mystery does sort of come out of left field but that's intentional, you know, theres a reason it is the way it is
spoilers, sort of
@coriander @Taweret after replaying it i think one of the clearest ways the devs let their Commewnism show is in the way that the mystery is kind of stupid and unplanned; the socio-economic conditions of Martianaise inevitably did escalate class conflict into class war. there is a subtle tragedy in the only remaining communard not being able to recognize this even as the rekindling of the revolution was the exact thing he was hoping he could somehow achieve
