Too bad it did not blow up, people like slop throughout the ages anyway.
People are determined to be unhappy aren’t they. It’s not slop it’s just not for you and that’s fine but it doesn’t mean you get to be dismissive of other media. There’s plenty of great games that are neither slop nor firewatch style narrative games.
Sorry, I am pretty determined that slop games exist, and I am happy settled with certain game design philosophies. No need for some moral police to say that is wrong. xD
