Whenever I play Super Columbine Mascaras RPG! I feel guilty and sorry about every one was affected by the event. I spent more than half an hour trying to reach the cafeteria. Every time I went inside the school they sent me back to the parking. I did know what is the reason and I WAS CONFUSED WHAT IS Happening. After more than fifteen times I noticed that I should pass under the security cameras without facing any girl. I felt it is a boring game when I repeated the same scene several times trying to go to the other room. I did not feel it was challenging and I did not under their unclear instructions. I did not like the idea that I had to plant a bomb underneath the table. Actually I am not engaging with the game at all because I cannot handle it while many people are suffering.
It was horrible to put the scene when they show all the weapons they have in real pictures. Is this game supposed to be for teens? How would families of victims feel when they see these weapons? Showing these weapons to kids and teens kind of horror and terror. It is painful to see exactly how their kids have been killed with real pictures. It is a real tragedy that should we respect not to show it the whole world. Not only me who is angry about this game but I am sure there are hundreds of people who do not like the idea and the content of game. Why did they make people’s souls as a game? Mascaras and horrible death is not that kind of story that could be a videogame.
It was even more horrible when I came back to parking again and we start to shoot and kill students. It is a massage full of violence for teens that should not be available for them. I think we should not use the mascaras and the social pain for entertainment. If Kant were alive he would not accept this game at all. The creator is using a tragedy to make a successful game without take in consideration feelings of families who were affected. According to reference.com, Kant argued that any action taken against another person to which he or she could not possibly consent is a violation of perfect duty interpreted through the second formulation: "Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a means to an end.” Super Columbine Mascaras RPG is presenting horrible mascaras in an entertainment form to create a videogame. Therefore, what is representing in the game is unethical and it considered violation of law, and players should be aware of that.
Another thing I have notices in the game that the instructions and directions are very bad. Many times I was wondering exactly what I am supposed to do next and I spent long periods of time to figure it out. Most of the time it made me lost instead of helping me going through the plot. For example, at the school parking I did not have any sort of indication of whom I should not kill or shoot. It was complicated for me and was not a comfortable game. I am not sure if this is because the creator of the game is a filmmaker and not a game developer. It could affect the game any way but over all it does not make a big difference.
After trying to follow the unclear instructions, many students had been killed at the parking. Then when I went to the school gate again, Dylan said to the player Eric “Don’t follow your dreams or goals or any of that sh**. Follow your F***ing animal instinct, if it moves kills it. If it doesn’t burn it !”. The message was quite shocking for me. Is this a kind of message you want present to a teen boy? Of course not! It disgusted me because of the usage of language and negative advises. After I read it, I tried to know how this game was rated but I did not find any sort of information. I wanted to know who is his target and what is his aim behind it.
