luj1 Oh noooooooooo

Oh no what? There will be no fake patriotism here. This is a cringe project, I'm not going to defend it.

There are SJWs in every Christian, western, eastern or ex-commie country these days. Every single one. No promised land exxists. Sad but true.


I already wrote my opinion on this game in the thread about Owlcat becoming a publisher so i'll just recap: shit with 95% probability.

Ground Hog Day, … , Ground Hog Day, …

Time loop, … A.K.A. … Reboot, …

Groundhog Day was ripped off a short story called "12:01 PM" by one Richard Lupoff (a chronicler of Lovecraft) and intertwined with romantic populist bullshit as to appeal to a wider audience.

There is a fantastic 1990 film adaptation starring Kurtwood Smith

DE was an okay experimental adventure game with some good jokes, but I'm not looking for more of that experience. Also, this looks like a non-edgy copycat version; part of DE's charm was that you could basically play as an asshole for comical value.

The game absolutely needs to allow you to be an asshole and do some batshit insane things, half the appeal of timeloop games is seeing the protagonist slowly lose it over time. The trailer's too short to really make out anything but outside of the comicbook dialogue boxes I really like the visual style it has. I'll try it once it comes out.
