I know it's not cool to talk shit about a beloved older comedy game, but I've been playing Day of the Tentacle (remastered version) recently and....
The game is set in the USA and 200 years of it are set in the past and 200 years of it are set in the future. The aim of the game is - we need to fix time because if we don't, in 200 years, all of humanity will be enslaved and treated as pets. And 200 years in the past, they're signing the US constitution.
And it's like... it's been written as if slavery doesn't exist 200 years in the past.
Hello writers, I think you missed something really important.
I mean, I know back then when it was written, it was much harder for people to research, and people would trust the history they were taught in school - which for Americans was nationalist propaganda. It still believes in the myth that George Washington's teeth were wooden and not pulled from slaves.
This game just doesn't feel right, here in the near-distant future.
