How do you like being mislead?

I wanna ask everyone who's played the game for at least 30 min about how they feel about being mislead by a story. 

There was a bit of internal debate about whether even to ask this, since it kind of gives away the fact that our story intro contains sleight of hand, but honestly if you've bothered to read past the 10 minute mark, you probably noticed that something is not quite right with what you've being told. Right? RIGHT? 

I'll pretend everyone nodded enthusiastically to the screens.

Obviously there's a risk here, one of the many risks we took, to start The Remainder with you being totally helpless and ignorant.
I think in a time of uncertainty, like humanity has been in since the stone age, most people are looking for empowerment, for power fantasies, for wish fulfilment. So, when a story comes out and tells you "You Know Nothing" and "You Are Powerless", it might not be the hottest "sell".

I can also see the potential dislike of Ilar, whom I would probably dislike as well if I met them in real life. A smarmy, self-assured know-it-all who's not always the most kind, and probably has a closet the size of an average house full of skeletons.

But we're not doing this to make you feel bad. Quite the opposite actually. Since we know what could happen you figure out more of the truth from the clues in the story, we know the contrast in feeling should be quite interesting. After all, when you're completely in the dark, even a spark of light is blindingly illuminating. 

The problem is, some players really didn't like being in the dark, so much so that they quit before they made it past the initial setup. 

I'm not complaining, why should everyone like our game? It's probably very flawed, but I do really enjoy using it as an experiment to test out all kinds of story-telling ideas and seeing how people react to them.

So, how dd you as a reader/player feel about this? Were you fooled? Did you have any "aha" moments when you found out how a certain aspect of the story or character really is? How did you like that moment? Was it worth it?

If you haven't played the game yet, what are you waiting for? ^^
