Sadly, what you describe is exactly the kind of narrative that has become quite proeminent in recent years and that I really do not like. The way a lot of modern games talk to “you”, the player, is something that I cannot relate to, in a bit of a similar fashion in which I can’t understand the so-called social media. The more something intends to “pull me in”, the more I resist, and I can’t help it.
This is what was very appealing to me as well. I’ll wait for your opinions!
