uh no, i think the point would be that it's a scary game. This isn't a fucking beavis bacon teaches you typing simulator game.

Beavis teaches typing would probably be a riot
that would most certainly make for an interesting experience.
nice instance btw
It sound like most didn't read the article. You aren't playing as the shooter, it is a horror game where you are the victim trying to escape and/or hide from the shooter.
I haven't read the article, probably won't, doesn't really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don't play as the shooter. I'm surprised others didn't interpret the same way.
From the trailer and article this looks and sounds well done. It reminds me of Amnesia, at least in that type of psychological horror.
Reminds me of the opening scene of one of the CoD games where you just walk into an airport and start opening fire on random people. I did not continue playing that game.
IIRC you never actually have to shoot any of the civilians in that level, but as players we all assumed that you did. IMO that level was the most interesting commentary that has been made in the COD series because it (somewhat sneakily) put the onus onto the player. Most of us just assumed that we needed to gun down the civilians without choice. In my opinion its one of the more poignant moments in the entire series for how it handled such a grim story beat.
By any chance, have you ever played Spec Ops: The Line? I feel you'd enjoy it.
Iirc in Germany the game was censored in a way that you lose the game if you actually shot someone.

Oof... Man, to live in the US. I don't envy you guys, though things aren't really going the right direction here in the Netherlands, either.

No parent should go through what they have gone through. And they want to express that through a game. It is an incredible idea, especially because of interactivity of the medium. I always believe that art can help hold a mirror to the society and this game proves that.
I can't wait to see speed runners cheese it and completely miss its point :/
TBF, generally speedrunners start speedrunning games because they love it to death (ie. have played it through several times already) and want to start challenging themselves in new ways.
