Today I sort of freely roamed around the school killing people. I mainly looked for easter eggs or hidden dialogue since I found some yesterday. I wasnt successful finding any of that so I kept farming npcs. I did not feel bad about the game because even though I was killing npcs based on real people, they were still only npcs.
I went into the classroom and read more dialogue between the killers. The game actually has decent character development and really shows you their reasoning and motives.
The game tries to justify their behavior by depicting them as victims. My friend disagreed with me and I could understand his reasoning on this topic. However, he believes the game is immoral to play. I couldnt understand this. He plays games based on actual wars but is disgusted by a game where many less people are killed. Even if the historical damage that these games are based upon was equal, its still only a game to me and no harm is being done to anyone.
