It is all about relationships and words
The main characters in the game are almost all minoritys, they sometimes talk about topics that you would consider to be "left" (a few minutes of over 20 hours) and you could see some parallels to the world of today (no surprise since the game takes place in a parallel universe of 2030). I personally would not call this propaganda but rather a different pov. In fact the game is a fictional comicbook story like X-Men (each chapter recaps the story and shows choices and percentages in well done comicbookform). The main cast is hunted by a system called "Justice" which was created to serve the people and over time has been misused to opress them. They are hunted because of their powers of which they are afraid of - not because of them being minoritys. The game plays like all those later Telltale-Games but you can actually walk around much more and collect items which you can then gift to members of your cast to unlock new dialogue. You have a guitar hero like minigame and the fighting parts. 90% of the game is about dialogues and how your words influence your relationship with your cast. Each character has a special stat influenced by your dialogue choices that can change between three states and based on the actual relationship state certain events might or might not happen. So while most of the story will not be influenced that much by your choices your relationship and final decisions will. I was almost never forced to (mis)use my powers - so that statement is false. The fighting parts are rare and they feel clunky but you can skip them. German translation is incomplete in a few parts parts and sometimes faulty - a fate many indie devs share. The story has some interesting twists and becomes pretty emotional in the end and if you are willing to let it be ... unfortunately though near the end it feels rushed and as if some part is missing (there's a small timejump). You also cannot save manually. Even with these flaws I really enjoyed my time on the road :)
