Yeah its development is one of the most screwed over I've heard about — the damn release plays more like an alpha more than anything, but goddamn it would've forever been a classic if things aligned properly. Sucks that it makes the rounds mostly as a money-grab, I agree.
The level I was on about was the very last one, where it manages to merge gameplay and story that rewards the player for indulging in it, even within the confines of a linear narrative. Games often struggle with doing incorporating their storyline with their gameplay (RoR does, too) and though you can see good examples here and there, most are short-lived in favor of the play --> story --> play --> story exchange typically implemented.

Been interested in it even more after seeing all the comparisons online. I also liked how the game actually does feel like a fairy tale, esp if you change the time period appropriately.

Jennifer all time best vidya girl.

>I believe that this divide, those caught and those that resist, will define Gen Z
This is an axiom you can observe in communities and generations that place emphasis on the individual in the midst of the communal. In this sense, we can't quite distinguish older gens as characterized by escapism and see ourselves existing in a different contextual vein when you yourself talk about the shades of escapism ingrained in Gen Z.
You make a cool point, though, about the way it manifests itself in our peers:
>In many years, I will not be surprised to reflect onto my twenties and spot quickly the labyrinth I am blind to now
With how easily the internet exposes us to ideologies and personalities so entirely opposite to our own, it's really fucking common for us to inhabit a social bulwark to stave off things we place ourselves against. Combine that with the current zeitgeist to either uphold or denigrate one's own individuality, I believe the unique challenge of our gen is something you touched on: balancing a ferocious push for oneself — whether positive or negative — with a ferocious push for one's own bulwark.
