Think of it like the American democratic process. A radical change in the ideology of a structure isn’t necessarily going to change the experience of people on the ground.
Here’s the new boss, same as the old boss. I don’t really know what I feel, but I understand the point that the designer, Lucas Pope, is making here. My family was the subject of objective statements told to me by my overlords, and besides, they were going to be safe when the rebels won anyway.
They didn’t have the color red to tantalize me. They were faceless and did not speak to me directly. After the first day, my family began to lose privileges. I didn’t have big stories about celebrity weddings I had huge hunks of page dedicated to revealing the political reeducation of teachers and professors in labor camps.
The rebels eventually contacted me again and told me what I had to do: gotta make people hate the government. I continued my job as I was supposed to, but I knew immediately that I wanted to do whatever I could to help the rebels. But the rebels speaking directly to me actually gave me pause. My family, which I assumed was supposed to be my emotional connection to the diegetic world, just didn’t resonate with me. We need your help.” I’m going to be honest: up until this point I had no investment in the game. I just assumed they were redacted stories that the government didn’t need to see, but then this part popped up. This gives you all pertinent information about the game.Īfter being a successful editor of the most oppressive paper in the world, I started getting weird little red lines and messages that showed up in my “feed” of stories. But if you don’t want to, follow me along on my adventure. The game plays quickly, so I encourage you to go do it right now. I am going to do a little bit of a Lets Play here. You are supposed to make citizens read the paper and make them very loyal to the government. The basic idea is that you are a newspaper editor in an oppressive regime whose family is being “taken care of” by the government. So somewhere on the internet I found a link to this game called The Republia Times (or just Republia) by Lucas Pope.
