A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
While I've enjoyed work from Argent Games before, this has to be the weakest piece of theirs I've played yet, despite it's hefty price tag.
Cons:
- Lack of diversity, no brown people, no fatter people, no disabled people.
- Racist MC; the main character describes himself as a xenophobic person who isn't a nationalist because he likes food from other countries. Meaning his dislike of foreign things is specific to people... Aka racist.
- More racism: The game also has some subtle racist implications in that the story revolves around 'scary foreign delegates' (who you pretty much never see) who might be out to murder you.
- Even more racism: It has one established foreign man who is whiter than a piece of egg washed bread. However he's described as tanned, eXoTiC and is portrayed as excessively predatory. You know, the way people speak about dark skinned people.
- Ableism in how it constantly speaks badly of the character with a stutter.
- Sexism in how it speaks about most AFAB characters, while only having a handful of them, all with unimportant roles. (Girl, mother, 'witch hag aunt', 'bimbo' girl and disembodied stalker.)
- Love interests are boring (besides Linnaeus) and the main character is rude, obnoxious and unintelligent (yet he has to solve the mysteries because everyone else is even more useless).
- The writing is pretty bad, with typos, misused words, double negatives, sentences that don't make sense etc.
- Accents are questionable, like the Queens English with a Cockney accent, a few other cross cultural blends that are meant to sound British or from within the UK... Besides one American sounding dude.
I have a longer review which goes over Pros, Accessibility features, Bugs, Suggestions and a Conclusion of this piece, on Steam under the same username; QwanGetMad.
(Because I'm disabled and itchio won't let me copy/paste or link anything, I have to cut this short.)
