I'm curious about:

Esoteric Ebb

Fermi Paradox

Tooth and Tail

They all look like games which could be great and could also be ruined by having weak ideas. Disco Elysium spoiled me

Tooth and Tail is about a revolution, but the revolution is about the right to eat the dwindling supply of meat. The one armed revolutionary hero who champions the downtrodden is one armed because she fed her one arm to the poor, because they all refuse to eat grain. The only ones who eat grain are fully sapient pigs who in return for being provided all their needs are eaten. Your basic squirrel troops are starving because they will not eat a vegetable.

There is a whole attempt to comment on this through the medium of 4 different political factions, and discussions of how to gain access to the existing meat. With factions supporting eating "Useless eaters" (I.e. the poor and those who can't work), voting for who to eat, or a lottery.

The choices for who is sympathetic and what to do are all the wrong ones. This is a game with a totally warped sense of morality. It's fun though.
