lilithkismet rated The Political Compass: Devil's Labyrinth

lilithkismet rated a visual novel 5 years ago
A downloadable visual novel for Windows and macOS.

This is a simple and somewhat satirical game about the famous "political compass" concept. The Angel of Death tasks you with saving or damning souls. Each of the souls is an unflattering caricature/stereotype whose beliefs or personality align with one of the four quadrants in some way, whether that's a neonazi, an aging hippie, or a corrupt banker. Depending on who you save/damn, you will then be labeled according to the quadrants of the political compass. There are five possible endings, one for each of the quadrants and also "centrist" if your choices don't neatly align to a category. It's a very short game that takes maybe 5 minutes for a first playthrough, less then ten minutes total to read everything in the game. I liked the grungy cartoon line art used in the game. On the other hand, I thought the writing was only moderately funny.
