Dramatards are gonna think it's soyshit for commies but I thought it was more of a Rorschach where you read into it what you already believe. I thought it was pretty funny overall

Where it's actually beneficial to play like that too. Most dialogue games might present you with a right option and wrong option and everyone just picks the good guy option. It's the only game I really know of where you can choose the r-slurred unhinged responses and that's how you're actually supposed to play.

Notice that it won't actually let you do this. It will just decide that you're both communist and fascist at the same time.
I talked to the people while they were making the game and this is not a bug. It's a feature of them being neurodivergent and not understanding that normal people aren't motivated by 1930s European ideology.

Nah played as myself (mostly "sane capitalist") and it was pretty fair about that tbh. But it's imo very obvious that the devs 1) really hate fascists, and also are quite liberal with their definition of fascist and 2) think that communism would have worked if it wasn't undermined by stupid class traitors.

There's definitely parts of it where they're making up a fantasy world where everyone else is as bad as commies. I found this distasteful, like if some chud made up a fantasy world where the Nazis only killed 500,000 people in the Holocaust so everyone else is supposed to be just as bad.

After a Spring season spent in absolute despair while other young people lived healthy lives of sexual pleasure, summer arrived. Summer is even worse than Spring, especially in Santa Barbara. Flocks of hot, young girls go out in their shorts and bikini's, further tantalizing my s*x-starved body every time I look at them. Knowing that they gleefully show off their desirable forms, yet they would never give me a chance to be their boyfriend only increased my already boiling hatred towards all women.

The "How he reconciles these two points of view" refers to reconciling Fascism and Communism, the apocalyptic belief is just noted as an odd thing that might indicate he's a schizo.

Yes, and I regret it. That snippet doesn't mention communism. "Mazovian Socio-Economics"? Christ. Imagine reading let alone enjoying this torturous drivel in some stillborn search for profundity in a video game. Just pick up a real book written by real people instead. Frankenstein, gormenghast, hungry caterpillar, anything will do.

Why does a fictional setting having an analogous history, and with it different terms for known concepts, bother you so? Are you also offended when Tolkien speaks of "Númenor" rather than "Atlantis"?
Actually, the mention of Mazovian Socio-Economics is phrased in such a way as to be both distinct from fascism and to be the ideology from which "liquidate the ruling class" comes from. They are in different paragraphs, and each starts with a note on how these beliefs contrast.
I have read Frankenstein, thank you very much, what baffles me is that even in your criticism you fail at analyzing even something as simple as basic sentence structure.
Criticize DE for being an O.K. book earning high-praise due to video game writing being so lacking, or going easy on commies but not anyone else, or its deluded persepective on neoliberal capitalism, but don't feed me this horseshit, you pompous fossil.
