Let them eat blade

Guillotine!

We. The Revolution(that punctuation is important, if irrationally annoying) stirs up a lot of feelings and thoughts. The French Revolution is one of the richest, but also most complex and difficult settings for any game. A game very much about politics, justice, and the infinite greyscale of morality, set at the very heart of the Reign of Terror? My god, do we even deserve such a valiant game?

Although necessarily simplified, I love that the mere choice of what questions to ask (orwhetherto ask them) directly affects the opinion of those present, as well as the evidence you get. It is messy and fraught with danger and inevitably soaked with political and ethical compromise, however ‘neutral’ or consistent you may claim to be at the beginning.
