Although extremely short, it's clear that effort and care went into this game; the menus and general aesthetic perfectly complement the story itself and the use of the 'bonus' features, which here are necessary to understand the context of the gameplay section, is particularly brilliant. It felt like a snapshot into a moment of a much larger story, the prologue to an epic that will play out beyond our field of view, and of course the tyrant created his own downfall-- Don't they always?
(It may make me heartless but, after reading all six possible afterwords, I favor the ones that result in the North Star. It seems more fitting and certainly makes for the better story.)
Although the events are clearly negative - I mean, nothing called the Purge is ever good - I ultimately chose to see it as a story of hope, karma rising from tragedy and all. Extremely short this might have been but I enjoyed my time with it nonetheless!
