People who hated it still hate it. I just think its found a small audience now. The 1.5 patch increased the audience by just being a better game lol...

Which hints are those? I don't really get that impression, and in terms of recent "hints" about it (2025), it's directly stated to simply see an aspect of the story in a different way.

fascinating

That's how you know its really postmodern

i see a lot of ppl talking about it so it seems like a fine choice!

its kind of a hard game to explain without playing it. its a pretty surreal work and very absurd. I think it's a very funny game mostly because of its protagonist who is pretty contentious, hes funny in a holden caulfield kind of way... he's pretentious and thinks hes really profound but hes not.

Nope

That's certainly a bad faith way of reading it from a video essay summarizing a game you're not going to play but will have strong opinions about regardless.
