Has difficulty levels ranging from affirmative action to white man. English translation is in the works afaik. Very inclusive.

Looks like the sequel(?) has been listed on Steam.

Bought it on release and after playing it for 3 hours on and off I can say that the gameplay is pretty fun. I don't typically play these types of games so it took a moment for me to get used to its flow, but when it happened I had a pretty great experience. It somehow reminded me of the 2D platformer Jazz Jackrabbit, which I loved to play when I was a kid. The game can be quite challenging, died 3 times already, each time to a new map boss, playing it on the optional perma death difficulty, so each death means starting from the first level, it's not a complete erasure of progress, because character upgrades carry over to your next run if you fail. Layouts of the maps are randomly generated, so repeating them doesn't feel stale. The greatest thing about the game is its humor and its portrayal of a woke cyberpunk dystopia where technocratic elites rule over subhuman consumer masses and where any notion of ethnic/racial identity and any traditional sentiment are brutally stamped out. There is a lot of references to meme culture and personalities of the dissident right. This is a truly based game and a counter cultural work, I don't know if anything similar is even available on Steam. I hope to see more from the developers of this game. Thanks @Thor Kaufman for mentioning it on this forum.

Weird coincidence that I just heard about Domina yesterday and that was delisted from Steam recently because the dev was anti-woke.

(Relevant because I saw "is this another Domina" questions in the steam forum.)

That's what they want you to believe.

According to a ****** lover, it's because he insulted a ******. Who knows?

btw on a side note - I just randomly stumbled upon this thread here on RPG HQ about The Great Rebellion, which I am actually the dev of Happy that people here also took note of our game ^^

Dverghold will be the next game we'll release after TGR (and we are also already working on a quasi-sequel to The Great Rebellion, it will be called "Hyper Rebellion").
