Motion Sickness
I can't really say if the game is good since I can't play it from getting terrible motion sickness. There is no way of fixing the prb in settings either so this is just a warning if you have problem with motion sickness in games this is probably not the game for you.

Pretentious, preachy, predictable
There are little things to say on a game that starts in a world where the "evil president" builds a wall to stop illegal immigrants from entering, and stops the young hip teens from fleeing. Graphically it is a low poly game. It looks decent, for a low poly game, but that is about it. The volumetric fog keeps the game acceptable. The characters are generic just as any other low poly corporate marketing "games" of today. The sound is... average. With "classical" EDM style tracks interrupted by some kind of "disturbed background noise". The voice acting is actually good. The actors did a great job. The story. Oh boy. Did you even wanted to play the CNN reality of "Trump is evil and will kill everyone and throw the migrants into working camps"? No? Too bad, because this is what you will get. Starts with the "evil billionaire president" throws a party in the middle of the desert using some cheap props, indie bands and a small van camp.... yes, that's a "rich dude party", and goes downhill from there. There are red necks, stalkers, racists, bad cops, good cops, and of course everyone is has a role, to tell you that your current president elected, is evil. Every single narrative conclusion is exactly the same. Player choices. In all Visual Novel games you get to make some choices. Here you can choose to be evil or not. Choosing to side with the cop that tries to do her job and escort a juvenile offender to a detention center - is a bad choice, you're evil, the cop is evil, the world is evil, bad you bad bad bad! Well, you say to yourself, whatever, let's get this punk in jail, become "evil" and see what will happen. Well, nothing happens! The cop will release the punk regardless. Because racism or something. She just changes her mind under mob pressure and that's that. Your choices, are meaningless, and that is it. Once you start this game you will accept that your elected president is an evil rich white racist. Period.

Boring, bland, safe.
I have this game on Steam and gave a good try. I got too bored with the safe story. A safe story is a story that is not creatively bold and doesn't take risks. In other words, this game can't be cancelled socially, and that's why it's boring; it's made of checkmarks to send their political message. It has good presentation and gameplay for a narrative focused game.

childish, boring
I could disregard the story choices that gives the impressions game authors are children (changing a car tyre with a pump? making a crowd boo or cheer by filming with a camera? on what planet does it work?) but the whole is so childish, to the point I could tell it was a french production even before checking that it is actually. Lame unassumed-wokish dialogs, childishing depictions of a poorly invented world. Boring. I've read it was spiritually sort of a followup of Telltale Games: well, Telltales games were never that childish and could bring feelings.

Beautiful game with a "woke" narrative
Bearing in mind this is a video game and I'm probably not the target audience, I loved the character development, story, artistry, design and was pleasantly surprised by the "procedurally generated" nature of the game. Typically those particular buzzwords give me the heebie jeebies but in this case it was well executed and improved the game considerably. The music was excellent, voice acting was entertaining (albeit over the top), and the environments beautiful. There were some questionably positioned floating tufts of grass that marred the world design, however, and animations were janky when following an NPC uphill, but I tended to overlook that as this game was clearly not made by a triple-A studio. I found the use of the Antifa logo to represent the Black Brigade to be jarring and inappropriate given current events. Thankfully the story did reveal to the player that members of the Brigade were not always the "good guys". The main villain was an obvious bad guy associated with right-wing government, however the story made it clear that his actions were what made him evil as opposed to his political affiliation. It would have been nice if the use of red to denote right-wing and blue to denote left-wing had been replaced with less obvious color choices. One of the main characters is portrayed as "confused" for having chosen to be a police officer working for the government, which felt very contrived to establish the "woke" narrative and again inappropriate based on current events. I have to wonder how much influence Hewlett Packard's OMEN team had on the story development based on the company's overt political influences they displayed over the past year. Overall the game delivered a solid, emotion invoking story that provided the player with a variety of choices as to how to proceed, and while the narrative feels politically heavy-handed most of the time, it was still worth playing through to the end. Four stars if the "woke" elements were addressed in a patch.
