This video turned out a lil scrungly on the visual side for a host of reasons. Just consider it a part of the PS1 aesthetic, it'll fit. EDIT: As of 7/26/2024, a big content update just came out for Dread Delusion, but don't expect a follow-up to this video for a good while. I wanna let things sit and settle down so that the second video I do on this game can be the final one. Gonna wait and see if more content updates come, more rebalances, etc, then cover the changes once I'm pretty sure the game is in/close to its completed state.
felt compelled to return to this video just to commend you on your ability to casually recognise and bring up 'deeper' political or philosophical or whatever aspects of the game, such as the apostatic union being an enlightenment style civil-religious mirror of theocracy, among other things (look into the book dialectic of enlightenment if you're interested in the topic in the real world). great video, although i do love the game a lot more than i think you did and it made me a bit mopey after getting excited over finally seeing a youtuber capable of analysis.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said in regards to the gameplay and it's honestly what kinda turned me off of it despite how much I vibed with the writing which is a shame

You got me at gay communist, time to wishlist this because I am poor and will wait for steam sales
