Always read game reviews before you buy something on Steam.
Let me tell you a little story- so last night I bought some games since Steam was doing their autumn sale and I’m always a sucker for screamin’ deals. Amid the interesting looking indie games I picked up, there was this game that looked so bad I had to get it: “Pregnancy”. The description listed it as a game where you guide a 14-year-old through the process of finding out she’s pregnant. Don’t judge me- much like how I love watching shitty shark horror movies, I like to play games that are so ridiculously awful that they’re funny. And for less than a dollar, I’m down.
So today I boot up the game.
It’s twenty minutes long, at the end it gives me links to the websites for Pro-Choice activist groups and Pro-Life activist groups.
I’ve been duped.
I was just tricked into playing a piece of political/social commentary on abortion.
Not only that, but the game is programmed to have the girl decide to do the opposite of what you suggest.
And if that wasn’t enough, your dialogue rarely changes her responses. She gave me the same response whether I told her she had a choice or she didn’t have a choice.
I’ve been hoodwinked.
I can never get that half hour of my life back.
