I will never understand the appeal of a game like Citizen Sleeper. it literally simulates living in a state that is even more miserable and disenfranchised than my daily existence already is

I hate that basically every story-based game is unplayable for me for some reason or other. they’re either actively harmful to my mental health or they are just not made for my neurotype

thankfully I never got around to playing Citizen Sleeper 1. I’ve had it installed for a week or so and was meaning to play it, but instead I watched a video about Citizen Sleeper 2 from Second Wind, and got far enough into that video to see exactly what these games are like and wow. I immediately uninstalled it, and I’m glad I never got around to playing it

unfortunately a lot of the comments were saying that everyone needs to play this game, and that there’s no excuse not to play it. and the video itself was praising it so heavily, too. it made me feel left out and marginalized

I’m not sure why I keep trying story-based games. I think I can confidently say at this point that there are almost no story-based games made for people like me. I can name one or two, but they’re very obscure and were very hard for me to find, and it’s honestly debatable whether they’re “story-based” at all

anyway idk I’m just sick of feeling like nearly all mainstream art is either actively harmful to me, or was just not made for anyone like me
