delve deep into the minds of all the CIA guys who did mkultra and fix their imposter syndrome

---

i actually quite liked a lot of bits of this, but its the type of thing which works better as concept art than as an actual game to play? it's this series of wildly creative story prompts & ideas thrown together in this super imaginative way, but which ultimately feels weird and bad to play most of the time, and which is a little too twee and affectionate to really sit right with me in this dark twisted fucked up jokerfied world.

i don't know. i really liked the character work on the kids, but the fact that the story itself is trying to grapple with essentially being about the legacy of violence inflicted by the psychic CIA is a little...... it's a little..... i don't know man. it doesn't fully mesh with its internal humanism to show mass murderers getting a fluffy second chance. maybe i'm a cold person these days, but my sympathy wasn't with any of the adult characters by the end. i was rooting against them, even.

this game is going to sit with me for a while, i think.
