There is something so, so beautiful about a rogue like game where you fight and die over and over again being a story about the cycles of violence particularly relating to toxic masculinity, and how people tell themselves stories about the roles of themselves and the people in their lives without accepting the truth.

Bravo. Loved it.

And it's so, so pretty.

hey, dont cry... big boyfriend on top of you at night?

I don't give a shit what Trump and Netanyahu have said, but people in Iran didn't rise up because they were fools who just loved Israel. They rose up because they were HUNGRY. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE AND THEY WERE KILLED FOR JUST PROTESTING TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE. KEEP THIS IN MIND PLEASE.

It's almost as if the Iranian people are stuck because they get bombed to shit by the US and Israel on one end and gun down in the street by the IRGC in the other. Wtf ever happened to "no war but the class war" when the oppressors aren't Western? Do you morons really believe fascism is purely a white people thing? THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION HAS NOT BELONG TO WORKERS IN IRAN FOR DECADES. They are alsp scraping dry natural resources and destroying the environment JUST LIKE THE USA.

We start by knowing that Arjun wants to rescue Nitya. Standard trope.

Then we get to know more about Nitya's capabilities, and hey, she's a smart scientist, that's nice, we're still in the trope.

Then we find the Red Tree, which Arjun assumes Nitya planted in memory of him, which leads a first-time player to believe that Nitya still loved and missed him.

Further into the game and Sebastian is encouraging Arjun to find Nitya, and it's suspicious because a suspicious character is encourating's Arjun's focus on Nitya.

Then we find out that Arjun probably messed up his relationship with Nitya, but based on his behaviours, it still seems possible that he's amended his behaviour, intends to apologise, and is going to ask for a second chance.

It also becomes increasingly clear that Nitya was probably at least part of the problem with Carcosa. She is not innocent in the situation of what happened to the Echelon settlers.

Further in, though... we learn that Arjun spectacularly messed up his relationship with Nitya. She left the planet because of it, and he followed. He did not need to do that. He attacks the Priestess knowing it's her, he keeps talking about 'saving' her, and by then, it's unclear what saving her would even entail.

And then, the kicker, the moment where this part of the plot went from good to great: we find out that Nitya moved on from Arjun with Kiira, something which Arjun refuses to believe the moment he finds out about it. It's also likely that the Red Tree was planted in memory of Kiira, not Arjun, he just assumed that if Nitya was planting a tree for her lost love, it must be for him.

And even after all that... Arjun still keeps gunning for Nitya, trying to 'save' Nitya, certain that she'll 'understand'.
