Esoteric Ebb and the Politics of Rolling the Dice
Esoteric Ebb is a CRPG that draws heavily from Disco Elysium and tabletop RPGs, exploring themes of politics, democracy, and the role of chance. The game uses its mechanics and narrative to comment on the privileged perspective of players and the complexities of democratic systems, drawing parallels between divine foresight and the player's awareness of game mechanics. It ultimately valorizes democratic involvement while critiquing absolutist dictations.
