This is unlikely to be a game where you’ll ever feel safe, or comfortable, but it looks like it’ll be one hell of an enigmatic nightmare to navigate. Nintendo closed the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The seamless world-building, the permeating social hypocrisy and sense of isolation, the arrestingly horrible, matter-of-fact unpleasantness… It’s all very familiar, but also entirely, refreshingly alien. There’s a real sense of early Rapture and Columbia running through the whole demo. The stylised, chunky, painterly art style makes everything that bit more horrible through juxtaposition, but when the fallacy of perception versus reality is expressed by a piñata turning into a dead rat when smashed to pieces (and its insides greedily eaten by the assembled crowd regardless) it really doesn’t matter how it’s drawn.
