Can anyone pls explain the meaning behind Cruelty Squad for me?

excess energy must go somewhere
in a society of decadence, violence, greed, distractions, and nihilism, the excess energy will naturally destroy the society that produced that energy

some eurocuck took psychedelics and put his delusions into a game

>>724682918 (OP)
Yeah, shit is bad

In a world without death, life loses its meaning, resulting in society turning inwards on itself and self-destructing in a haze of pettiness. Material pursuit, callousness towards others, apathetic vices of humanity start to rear their ugly head among people who cannot find any other reason for being yet cannot die.

In short, life being finite gives it value, in a world where life is plentiful, nothing has purpose.

The whole thing is a byproduct of our times, where western man really doesn't have the existential threats it did in the past, living in a society where he doesn't have to wonder where his next meal will come from, if he's going to have a roof over his head, etc. but feels completely empty because something intrinsic to his person is missing. It's not something tangible and material, but a piece of his soul, for lack of a better term. Without it, he drifts through life aimlessly and longs for an end to his banal existence, either figuratively by finding purpose or literally by death itself.

Cruelty Squad's protag got the ending he wanted.

the struggle is the reward

this game was made by an actual tranny, it's schizo rambling in game form

>>724684884
Not in full, there are other rewards than the struggle. The struggle is simply part of it, but not the sum total of it.

>>724684884
No the reward is a sick ass sticker that makes the boulder look cooler when it rolls down the hill.

Disco Elysium is unironically Nazi-coded.

>>724682918 (OP)
It's biopunk. Technology advanced so that people can't completely die, and this had metaphysical consequences. Essentially, because nothing dies anymore, life just accumulates endlessly as waste and biological material can be re-engineered into new forms.
The reason it's biopunk is because the scientific advancements only make the rich more powerful and free and in control, while the poor could be made into robocops and shit like that.
