WOKE - The game
You play as 4 characters, that fight the Law Enforcement of a fictional totalitarian United States by bullying them (no, it's not a joke) and using "the power of words". "Deep" dialogues include lines like the classic "You are racists!". Oh yeah, one character can jump in the air and land on her butt to knock "enemies" over (not a joke). In a nutshell, this is a game that promotes toxicity and hatred towards anyone who doesn't think woke.

A Play on Words
It's an interesting story-heavy game that's a bit different from the well-known Telltale formula - mostly that your choices not only affect people but also shape their way going forward (and you can collect gifts whilst walking around which you can then gift to companions for expanded dialogue options). Speaking of, the game introduces a colourful cast of characters - which are (with their relationships) the core of the game. You get to play a protagonist that starts of as an abusive person (mostly because their word powers are about enhancing negative feelings) but you get plenty of chance to improve on that (even though most options allow you to be mean). The most fun part is that often being quiet (or at least wait) is the better choice (though there are cases where you're forced to use powers). Some dialogues are a bit cringey, but most of the interactions are well produced. If only spoken and written text were not so unmatched, and that there were less cutoffs... The visual direction is great, and the story is also saved/recapped in a comic form, interestingly enough (though some decisions didn't seem to reflect correctly - which did bother me greatly.) Also the word power names might be a bit... on the nose? The combat, while being intuitive with its use of word powers and combos, feels unresponsive and somehow unsatisfying. And all the character quips are terrible, not gonna lie (especially when they get interrupted and restarted constantly.) Now for the other main actor here - the music gameplay. The rhythm-game mechanics are really well made with a nice design and positioning. The songwriting part is also a cool touch. I just wish that there were music/band differences with more members on the team (and maybe more songs). I mostly enjoyed the basslines - at least of the latter few songs (but don't ask me about lyrics because my brain just decides to muddle them with the music.) All-in-all a good game that could've been great were it properly cooked.

Worst game ever made!
A videogame made for very unhappy people. Its nasty and even "racist" at times.
