I found it interesting, the twitter thread you linked! It made me think about the assumptions that I drew when I first played the game. I tried to go into the Inverted Spire as spoiler and context free as possible, so I could enjoy the experience as much as possible. But after the introduction, where I met the protag, my first assumption was that the New Order was terrible, and that the protag was very unhappy and backed into a corner.
An unfair and cruel "society" and "status quo" is the enemy in dystopias, and I was primed to be suspicious of the New Order--I certainly thought that being thrown into a pit to die is not a just punishment for nonconformance to society! I feel kind of sad, knowing at least one of the seven goblins is going to die a probably really awful death :(
I was primed by my past experiences to be suspicious of the New Order, and to kind of be on the protagonist's "side" and the other six goblins' "sides". I never thought any of them were "bad" people, just people who crossed the New Order.
It didn't cross my mind till I read your thread that other folks may think the New Order has a point :p
