I can't quite tell if this game is wanting to be pulpy and satirical, or shock-value exploitation murderporn that comes off as lowbrow pandering without a shred of good judgment, masquerading as "adult" but in reality just wallowing in trashiness. I hope it's the former. This game looks like it could be extremely memorable and with a ton of personality, that hopefully doesn't get undermined by adolescent garbage.

The narrative in that game sounded like it was trying to make a coherent point but in the end, it all felt like garbage. However, the part where Your previous "friends" try to kill you was genius. Yeah, that's what I kind of see happening. A lot of the dev talks have been all about how they're trying to perfectly capture desperation and insanity and all that, yet most of the promo stuff, especially that box art, looks about as tongue-in-cheek as it gets. With decent writing they could still send a 'message', if they really wanted to, but trying to actually make this all grim edgy seriousness could not end well.
