Spoiler Warning: we jump right into the content and experience of this whole game.
What does a game that centers heavily on mind control have to say about the value of individuals?
The game's creators have said very little about the meaning of this game, so how do we handle the variety of possible interpretations?
Is the monstrous Huddle (or "Human Meatball") the most human thing in the game?
How can we find hope in such dark stories?
Let us know what you think. Do you agree with our conclusions? Did we miss something? We want to hear what you think is going on Inside.
