THAT WAS THE FIRST WHAT?!
Honestly i almost never review games in here but this one change my mind. The frustration I felt with the repetitiveness of the task that became increasingly harder each minute(or should i say step?-not in a bad, i want to give up kind of way though-) has put me into a philosophical spiral. When I stamp I feel this hopelessness that I do all of this for nothing. But at the same time I felt adrenaline that didn't allow me to stop. The numbers getting up. The money going to another angry fight with the russian elevator man(i don't know if he is russian it's my headcanon).
And after another loss, I had to go back. Back to the same routine so I can afford to have freedom... Unfortunately I feel like the adult world and the system that we take place in puts us in exactly this position. Monitoring, and limiting our knowledge. What are we doing? Are we better than the person next to us, or most importantly ourselves, because we feel superior to a disgustingly simplistic task? I think in reality we like feeling smarter, as our only way of control in a life where everything is unsure and we are forced to trust the machine that causes this feeling in the first place. I don't want to interfere nor misundrestand your own idea of your game and story. It is just that, for me the game felt like the lies we tell ourselves, participating in the system and the time we lose, our precious time for a dose of freedom? Differentiality? Anything but another meaningless fucking stamp. That ironically this stamp IS our freedom.
As someone that does a kind of repetitive task in my job (that i don’t want to) it hits differently i don’t know..
Can’t wait to play the rest of the chapters!
