MODERATORS
Loved it despite the anticommunism, the ending made me cry
The GDR aesthetics are just "oppressive regime" wallpaper tbh
Also one of those games where I watched a 2 hour lore explanation video going over all the classical art and music references and a strongly supported theory about what's actually happening in the plot and it deepened my enjoyment
Oh for sure, it's more set dressing, just wish they didn't tie it to the GDR. Guess the LGBTQ themes are fairly on-brand for the GDR's historical progressivism compared to Western Germany on that front though.
Again, I love the game, I just wish it didn't have that anticommunist slant in the background.
