The game is politically schizophrenic. The entire conclusion with the cult and their big speech about running things, is that adults have the ability to run things by actually working and communicating and making decisions together. These furry kids spend the entire game abusing eachother and bragging about how unwilling they are to work or do anything to make a lasting impact, and then when the neighborhood watch shows up and explains that they're able to patrol the town because they set goals and exercise their human ability to take control even slightly, and the main characters are all bamboozled like that's not fair and that's an evil conservative trick you should avoid. As if Mae and all her buddies couldn't just drink less and make a decision about their surroundings for once in their lives. I understand the problem of status quo and traditionalism, but the way they absolutely slam these cloaked adults for saying organization gives them the ability to change things, when the 'kids' who are protesting them are actually substance abusers in their mid-twenties, its ridiculous that none of these young adults ever consider to wield mature power for their own, for their own good. It's a bizarre development and frankly the whole game is so myopic it's extremely revealing about the faults of the punk attitude and what I would call toxic liberalism.
The game is politically schizophrenic. The entire conclusion with the cult and their big speech about running things...
The cult literally murders people and sacrifices them to a dark god
Like, the cult isn't even 'keeping anyone down', they're just people with a weird plan, and the main characters are so offended at the idea adults would get together and carry out anything. Like they've been wasting their lives drinking and complaining, meanwhile normal functional people are just able to work on their ideas and make them into something. God forbid, right?
>Like, the cult isn't even 'keeping anyone down'
they murder children
Take your medication.
"toxic liberalism" Is still a few notches better than child murder
>tranny game
>tranny thread
Don't care, post Bea.
>tranny board
>rightoids can't understand art
tell me something i don't know
>Like, the cult isn't even 'keeping anyone down',
They are taking anyone they arbitrarily don't like and ritually murdering them for a dark god for the name of prosperity
There's no indication what they're even doing is working, meaning they're just killing people for no real reason
>"toxic liberalism" Is still a few notches better than child murder
What's the difference?
A Smash/Cyberpunk thread died for this.
>muh liberal politics
Take your meds schizo. The cult is actually murdering locals so they can keep their shitty mining town on life support for a few years instead of just packing up and moving somewhere new.
>in b4 muh jobs
Bullshit, every adult character in the game Is shown to have some low skill/low pay job they could literally get anywhere else.
The game is literally about shiftless gay kids blaming society for their wasting expensive opportunities with substance abuse, and they entertain themselves with complaining and vandalism, and then they find out that their parents actually run the community by acting like adults, and a company suddenly rolls in and gives them jobs, and the story's over. I have no clue what you're talking about, there is no death cult.
So you didn't play the end of the game, got it.
op probably unironically buys shit like this
I watched somebody play the whole thing, the 'death cult' are adult traditionalists who merely wear cloaks in the woods as they talk about very plain ideas of the status quo. The main characters take this as a chance to 'fight back' and then the next day a business opens up where Mae might want to work. The end. What is the point?
Go back to Resetera, tranny.
The entire game is pretty cathartic, whether the intention was to promote a liberal idea or not it. Logically it doesn't do a good job since the promoters of it in the game are the cast of overgrown teenagers with awful lives and poor personalities. I think it was more about just telling a relatable character-driven story, which is what the game does best. If it wasn't intentional then it's due to the stupid and abrupt ending.
They literally tell you they are kidnapping people and sacrificing them to their dark god. Are you an actual retard?
OPetty ETHERED

where did you find a copy of NITW where every character is mae? asking for a friend
The game is literally about personal growth and overcoming mental blocks/mental illness. Mae’s main conflict is her hesitation to grow up and change(couldn’t handle college dress so she dropped out and came “home”). The end of the game is her killing the “Trafitionalist” cult that represented her fears about what growing up means. She literally finds a compromise within herself that she doesn’t necessarily have to become a boring wage cuck, and can instead grow as a person/get a job without sacrificing who she sees herself as, and without having to give up her friends. Also that’s not how the game ends, the game ends with her hanging out with her friends talking about the previous night.
Mae is still pretty deranged in the ending, unless I'm not remembering well, and they also talk about their friend group disbanding since Gregg and Angus are moving out.
Nothing really changes for Mae, she's still just as much of a shithead as before.
Okay? That’s how people work. The game would have been dumb as fuck if she did a 180 and became a well organized, ambitious person overnight. The point is she has worked through the main things holding her back. Her personality was never her problem, it was her mental health/immaturity. At least after the game she has a clearer path to become a functioning adult.
nighty nighty BITCH
>tfw Mae describes her dissociation episode as things becoming "just shapes" to her
>tfw the art style is built mainly of just simple shapes
That's some weird made up interpretation. The point is that nobody knows what the fuck they are doing. The cult just represents ideology and irrational beliefs that people have to cope with their confusion. Mae rejects this but she is still fucked at the end.
Haha wouldn’t it be wild if you could relate to that, I mean imagine realizing you might have a dissociative disorder after playing night in the woods lol, that’d be pretty weird haha
