Last secret of Blue Prince? Sharp political commentary

Published:

IN Blue princeYou never see another person. There is no weapon alone. You interact with the world only thanks to the skills of notes and cleverness. It is quintessence, a mysterious game.

And game Blue prince As if this puzzle game will lead you to credits. But this is not the whole story. A timely political warning is hidden after loans and between puzzles.

During the game, when you come across letters and books, you will get tips on the basic mystery, which takes place both in the background and in the past – the lost author of the beloved children; Dissatisfied employee and blackmail scheme; Brave robbery at a local museum; and a heavily edited historical book.

Even with a little reading in the game, I could say that history was more after reaching loans-more secrets to discover and some lasting loose threads to bind. I expected more puzzles and maybe more insight into the secrets of Mount Holly’s estate, in which the game is played.

I certainly did not expect a very good political thriller, which touches on the topics of fascism, Jingoism, censorship and political violence.

To explain what I mean, I will have to spoil some secrets of overdue game Blue prince. You have been warned.

The first tip that I came across was a letter of rejecting a manuscript called children’s book Red prince. You learn about the site that the end of the book had to be changed because it was “”Too political. “

Then, a little later – and with a little work – I found two versions of the historical book. The first version I read was heavily edited and told the story of a drunk ruler that nobody liked. Yes, I saw that some sections were discussed, but the words that remained painted the whole picture I needed.

It wasn’t until later that I found the unchanging version and could see what was edited. Censorship of these lines with removal Words of choice He completely changed (hello) history. What was taught in schools (you can find in class at the university) and what actually happened was completely different.

Showing me only the edited version, the game made him remember me in covering up. I fully believed that a drunk ruler that nobody liked was a villain of this story. Why would I not have History book He told me like that.

Instead of stories about the rightly removed drunkard, the true story is soaked in the class war, with a separate nobility supporting the coup. And then, with careful edits of history books – Name change kingdoms and erasing the venerable – and even forbidden Some flags The narrative has changed from public display. “The story is written by the winners“, Finally (it seems to me that it is not an accident that one of the kingdoms involved in the assassination is the name”Nuance. “)

During the game, the mother of the main character – who is also the beloved author of children – is a clear absence. Her books appear, but she has missed for years and she is believed to be dead. For most of the game it is advisable – but she never said – that she escaped from the country to escape from government thugs.

This special secret ends with a really shocking moment. One sec Blue prince In the past, it provided a lot of stories about political violence (in the game), none of them was tangible in the present. Many years ago they were referred to families, but of course it could not happen now.

Of course, that is, until I got to the security (due to the appropriate intricate puzzle).

Inside I found a map describing the escape route. And lots of pistols.

This is difficult to check the reality in the game, which allegedly concerns losing yourself in puzzles and secrets. And this, if you still get involved with them Blue prince After loans, it serves as a reminder that all the things he warns about it still happens.

Not bad because of the “independent” puzzle game.
