The Price & Tragedy of Mankind

A poetically poignant take on a certain type of tragedy that happens way too frequently in real life. When mankind keeps repeating the same "mistake" again & again, can this really be excused, dismissed & buried as a "mistake" ?

As such, I think this is the least "weird" (to borrow your description) of your games, because much of the male protagonist's actions is very representative of what many men did throughout the history of humankind.

Margaret Atwood described in 'Writing the Male Character' (1982) how a male friend explained to her that men are "afraid women will laugh at them, undercut their world view" [INSERT: or say no to their advances & violations] -- while female students at a poetry seminar summarized it thus: "Women feel threatened by men [because] they're afraid of being killed".
