Roadwarden

No worth it

This seemed like a fun game and had good reviews so I gave it try....in the first scene you learn an army officer died while "trying to be saved by his boyfriend" and I'm like, that's cool, inclusion is cool. It's just a little detail to spice up the story. No big deal. Then at the first village, I ask the innkeeper "How are you?" His reply: "It's the town's law that I have to tell you that I'm a wife beater. My wife has left me. My daughter was taken away from me and is now being raised by another man. It is the best for her!" and I'm like bro, why would you respond to a stranger in such an odd way in your visual novel about being a roadwarden? I played a little farther on and noticed that every leader in the story is a woman and every man is portrayed as weak, cruel, dirty, and/or evil. To articulate clearly: this game takes a hard left turn into identity politics land and if it that's your cup of tea, then grab your crumpets and fill your cups. But for me, the writers tried too hard forcing their political views onto the reader and it distracts from the whole story.
