It’s a good way of getting the message across. I used to be a lot more pro cop than I am now. Disco elysium I do not credit with changing that, but i definitely noticed what it was doing when I played the start of the game, and I did play the game some point before souring on the police for good.

I ramble. I just really like the writing of that, and it’s testament to the value videogames/interactive fiction has for storytelling - because experiencing that for yourself, as the cop, is way more elegant than reading it in a book.
