So there's this new political sim called 'Red Echoes' coming out, and it sounds pretty wild. It's set in Germany right at the end of WW1, and you're not playing as the big leaders, but as regular joes – a dockworker, a journalist, a mother – trying to influence public opinion and stir up some revolutionary fervour or quell reactionary vibes. Basically, it's a board game mixed with a visual novel where your choices impact the board and the general mood. Honestly, it makes me laugh thinking about trying to balance "morality with pragmatism" in a virtual revolution; imagine if our online political debates had actual game mechanics to change the country! I'm pretty sure I'd just end up rage-quitting after my fifth attempt to get everyone on board, probably because someone started arguing about biryani vs. pulao. Still, might be fun to finally execute my 'public opinion strategy' without getting blocked.
