DQ5 Story Premise (ignore if you prefer to go in blind)
@Proxy@snouts.online You start as a six-year-old boy who has some adventures with his dad, and the game unfolds over 30 years of the hero's life. The hero is enslaved but escapes ten years later, then travels the world trying to learn what the mysteries of his parents were and what they have to do with the fabled legendary hero. Eventually the hero has a straight marriage and children

I need to find good critics or LPers who cover strategy games, especially those with fantasy themes.

I skimmed through the Wikipedia summary of Oddworld Inhabitants "purpose" and I don't want to try untangling corpo-speak from Lanning's "Trojan Horse pop" ideology from the practical effect of the company. Lanning seems passionate, at least in conversation, but analogies like "I'm fine with unions the same way I'm fine with the death penalty" and "[The audience] does not care how many people died making the product" sure do raise some eyebrows
Keep an eye out for employee reports, I guess. This one's complicated. (Also: start vocally caring about how many people died making the product)
