Clever game, but...
The gameplay is simple and straight forward. The voice acting and writing are both witty, and contain some interesting insights all around. The customizing avatar is of course what's expected this days, next. And you do get the mercy of a New Game Plus when you inevitably come to the Bad End first time around. And the precious few characters there are manage to be endearing in spite of their brief interactions. But there's a problem... spoilers. The game is so friggin' MANIPULATIVE! You are presented with some black and white things with some obviously corrupt people with no sense of empathy who's end would make the world a better place... but the game becomes increasingly blurry as anything remotely resembling right-wing politics is treated as a one-way road to the end of the world... and apparently Walt Disney would have helped established a fascist Hell if he'd lived longer (Walt was many things, but being a fascist wasn't one of them) ... And of course slaps you with the 'nothingness after death' halfway through. Oh, and there are some very obvious Terry Pratchett references, of whom I am NOT a fan of his work, but that's a minor beef compared to the rest. The left wing views grow from subtle to outright vicious by the end. I couldn't bring myself to play through the New World Plus knowing I'd have to basically parrot left wing policy... basically like how you'd admonished by one of the other characters for parroting Fate's policies.
