Interesting the difference in approach to censorship between the “West” and China.
It is 😬 I really appreciated the nuance they covered the topic with because holy shit
It was also weird to hear one of the interviewed players talk about how people were moved to tears because of how patriotic some of the stories were. Really curious what that even means
I guess a “patriotic story” could be made in any country about its respective fight for independence, and/or any war. Something like every character having a well built background, then sacrificing it for the greater good.
Maybe with the goal being to unmask the traitor, but the traitor being an NPC, then everyone learning of everyone else’s sacrifices as the game progressed, empathizing and ending up crying?
Dunno, I guess there could be many ways to make a mostly scripted game a patriotic one, when nobody can say “I throw a box of lit dynamite sticks into the air and cry Leeeroooy!!”, or “A book? I read aloud whatever it says. Ph’nglui mglw’nafh…”
Eastern version of an escape room. I would love to try it
I only recently learned that dinner murder parties were a thing, the multi-day one in the video is crazy!
