10 Video Games That Deal With Difficult Themes

I've discussed Will O'Neill's work - Actual Sunlight - before so my opinion on that and him is fairly clear. Little Red Lie is a longer endeavor than his previous but just as, if not more so, important.

See, what Little Red Lie does, much in the same vain as Actual Sunlight, is subvert the tropes that many of us have been conditioned to expect from video games - particularly RPGs. You might be given dialogue options in Little Red Lie, but most are lies and inconsequential.

Personal favourite of mine was a 'choice' from the protagonist's sister saying she wouldn't sleep with the TV on that night. Yeah.

What makes Red Little Lie stand out though is the way in which it tackles the economic strife many of us face at the moment. Be it living at home at forty, working menial jobs for pittance or...being a rich !*$% based on Trump and Rob Ford.

Also, O'Neill doesn't fall into the easy "Okay Boomer" nonsense that many of us do. He addresses that it's not an entire generation, but a small percentage of each, to blame for the state that we find ourselves in. It isn't a generational issue, it is a class one.
