Nostalgia, games, & cute branding aren’t neutral when they’re used to soften state power.

If you’re angry at “politics in games” but not at ICE turning Pokémon into a propaganda tool, maybe you’re not against politics

Main menu of Enigma Heart. The menu has the items: Status, Magic, Inventory, Bestiary, Goodies, Load, Save, Options, Quit. The main window has an anime-style portrait of the hero Zalia, and her stats and abilities listed. The window in the bottom left shows the player's location (Danab Palace), and the time: currently at 1 hour, 0 minutes, and 22 seconds. The player is at level 6, with three lives, and is at low health and mana, presumably after a boss fight. She has attack level 3, and sorcery and defense levels 2. Pixel art scene from Enigma Heart. The player character, Zalia, stands at the end of a long dock, looking out to see. The ocean stretches out toward the horizon. Far off in the distance, beyond the horizon, are green rolling hills and a forest. A small ladder leads down from the dock into the water. A dark room in a gray stone temple, illuminated only by the boss: a horned, flaming skull that currently has its mouth open and is baring down on the player. The player is at critically low health, and the boss has three health units out of eight remaining. The player is at attack level 4, and sorcery and defense levels 2. Her clothing palette is teal and blue and yellow, indicating she has a damage-reduction spell currently in effect. A high-resolution watercolor-style illustration of a royal throne room. The room itself is dimly lit and oppressive feeling. The new king -- a tall, lanky man wearing a demonic-looking golden crown and wielding a red-bladed sword, sits alone on the throne. The only people in the throne room are armored guards, save for one peasant woman who is being denied an audience with the king. The image is surrounded by a gold frame with gold ornamental circles, and teal corner accents featuring icons such as hearts, a labrys, and crossed swords. Text underneath the image reads: The hope that Regnar would continue his father's legacy quickly gave way to oppression. Regnar enacted harsh laws and grew distant from the people.

aw, that's awesome to hear, thank you!

And yeah, I've been feeling that myself about this project. Like, even if I *could* do this project on my own (I can't lol), working with you and the rest of the team is far more rewarding. It's really cool seeing it come together in ways I didn't foresee!
