Urgh. I happened to notice that all "ENEMIES" are listed as "Affiliation: Police", with the exception of one. While I am sure that you agree (presuming you are adults qualified to publish on this platform) that living "off the grid" is a sort of narcissistic fantasy with no real-life applications in the New Millennium, I can't help but wonder why you would try to capitalize on this fantasy when there are demonstrably very few Meaningful Experiences that could be found even in this simulacrum. Would it not have been a better use of resources to make a Batman simulator? I mean: yes, the Fight-or-Flight response does drive a lot of our decision-making, both in Game and Life, but to make a game based entirely on flight appears a bit ironic, and the satire might be lost on some of your paying players. Since Games are Social Institutions, you must expect your audience to be, well, law-abiding citizens, at least civilians who'd rather stay at home than go into the Wild. You also have to pay consideration to the Internet; its premise is of SHARING information, not EVADING it, and running from responsibility feels like just something that one does on Google Chrome when Internet is faulty and you're waiting for the Server to Reboot. (I mean the DiNoSaur, of course.) I am not saying this at all to mean discouragement or bias. I just don't see how it counteracts "oppression", and as a Developer, Blogger and Player I can think of nothing purer for this Comments Section than concern and criticism. We all have to do our part SOMEhow. [({R.G.)}]
do you feel better now? might as well pay Adrian a special fee, because to unpack that "review" , you should probably see a professional counselor. ugh.

As an addendum: solid use of Courier. I love it. R.G.
