A Bewitching Revolution

A really fun experience. The game is full of charm, simple, and a very good example of agitprop in games. It drips with petty bourgeoisie idealism, even being a little trotskyism with a quote; These problems don't spoil the experience, though.

Not really sure what I was expecting going into this but it wasn't what I recieved. The premise of the game should have been thought provoking: social revolution through political awareness, but it is very detached from reality. The concepts and thoughts are very surface level understanding and idealistic of socialism/communism and capitalism. It reads more like the distorted thoughts of edgy 14-year olds on reddit than researched and non-partisan opinion. I'm dissapointed it devolves into the normal retoric that widespread change cannot happen without violence and total destruction of the "others". I don't get how the thoughts about prisons being comparable to wage slaves fits and that they're mutually exclusive to socialism. It's a very narrow view of the way prisons work and ignores how countries that focus on reform and not imprisonment actually have a positive impact on keeping people from re-offending and re-integrating into society. Outside of the politics of the game, it's very simplistic which works on keeping the focus on the ideas but I don't really get "cyberpunk". There are times where I was clueless what you're supposed to do and was just running around interacting with everything.
