In a better game, this could be a really good story hook, but here they present this with a kind of slapstick humor instead of any kind of delicacy, and it's pretty jarring.
The comparison I've heard is it feels like playing Super Columbine Massacre RPG.
Ultimately, I decided I didn't want to spend any money on that. Hopefully, since it's still in alpha (or maybe beta now?), they fix that.

It's just shockingly morbid anyone would want to play it.
