I understand this is probably flagged for "off-topic or political", but can we just appreciate the 1980s/1990s pixel art vibe? There is so much here: A blend of NES Final Fantasy and NES StarTropics. Plus, the enemies and their names are genuinely funny: Handsome Mamdani (after new NYC mayor), DEIyatolla (after Iran Ayatolla), low flow shower head (seriously, I had to Google this one!). Also, the anonymous artist collective behind it, Secret Handshake, is worthy of discussion.

I played the game for a bit, but I cannot figure how to win. (FYI: Google tells me with bad AI/LLM that it may not be possible to win.) I can finish all side quests except I cannot find Kash Patel's (beer) ping pong balls. I even figured out how to beat the "Weak on Crime Pope" using a magic spell. When I sit on the golden toilet and use Truth Social to post, I "win"... then when I try to leave the building, Theo Von forces me to repeat the game. Also, there are two broken bridges that I cannot fix. Also, I can collect one extra barrel of oil ("lube"), but no idea if I can use this extra barrel.
