I tried to negotiate with the minions, died before I even got a turn, but eventually just avoided them, negotiated with a different NPC and got an ending of sorts.
That was about the experience I expected, mind, but far from what the page and what little I skimmed of the GDD promised.
I have no idea if this is genuinely an overly ambitious idea that had to be pared way down in the execution phase, or a parody of overly ambitious ideas that suffered massive requirements scrubbing to meet a deadline. Honestly, I'm still kinda at a loss on how to evaluate this one.
I see what you're going for with the description on the page, especially the "I remember how it used to be" section, but I feel it would have hit better in 2022.
