I was immediately drawn in by the cover image. It's not often that you see titles in Spanish, so when I paid close attention and noticed the introductory line of ''Is there anything more terrifying than a fascist?'' I knew I was in for something else.
This game was an absolute experience from the very beginning.
As someone both born and raised in Spain, I suffered a lot while trying to make my way through the apartment because I was getting extremely excited at just how many elements of a traditional Spanish household I was seeing, from the old kitchen with the colacao bottle to the design of the furniture itself. I was so happy to see things I'd grown up with in a video game! However, the attention to detail was so on point that no matter the excitement of hearing ''Campanera'' playing (ON A VIDEOGAME!!!) I recognised all of the elements you NEVER want to see, from the moment I crossed the front door I knew exactly what type of man I'd find inside the house.
My fear was very welcome as this was an experience I had never had before. I've never had the experience of having experience!
I've never stepped foot in an American household or been forced to find 7 notes taped to trees by a tall faceless creature, but I've seen my fair share of pure Fascist Franco supporters in my lifetime and that's an experience I never would have thought would have been evoked also in a videogame.
I know the story is fake, but it's so real. From the multiple signs of aging in the Tennant to the clear ''Grandpa are you watching from heaven how I graduated college'' attitude towards Franco that all fascists seem to have, every detail of this game BROKE ME.
Congratulations, this is a masterpiece; from the story to the graphics, amazing.
