zehaeva Posted April 9, 2021 I love that this is happening, but for some reason Alice is beginning to appear on _every_ podcast I listen to. I honestly didn't think there was this much overlap between all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chanman Posted April 11, 2021 One thing mentioned in this podcast,-about how this was a game that could only have been made by a team where life behind the Iron Curtain is still a living memory (if not by the developers, than by their parents' generation) and still living in the aftermath, reminded me of Disco Elysium - in that case, the developers hailed not just a Soviet client state, but from an actual ex-Soviet republic (one of the Baltic states - Estonia, IIRC). It was interesting that a number of reviews of Disco Elysium had comments about its deep ambivalence about socialism and neo-liberalism but didn't seem to connect the ambivalence as a product of being written by people from an area that had spent most of the 20th century as a Soviet Socialist Republic and living through the ups and downs of crash post-Soviet economic development in a tiny state.

Akalabeth Posted April 14, 2021 Interesting sounding game though the podcast had quite a lot of people talking over one-another. Maybe could've been a bit more organized in that regard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
