OK this game has it’s funny moments and I love a good parody RPG maker game but unfortunately it’s pretty lib in a lot of the humor too. It’s hit and miss. However, it was apparently made as protest art, and that’s where I start to have opinions.

My problem with this type of satire as form of protest is that it doesn’t make people go “Wow, these people must be stopped!” it makes them go, “Wow, these guys are so stupid and entertaining!” I don’t think the lib strategy of pointing to the Trump admin and saying “What a silly circus!” is effective, because circuses are entertaining, and being entertaining idiot business ghoul is literally how Trump got where he is.
