Deforge paints a futuristic hellscape in which every aspect of daily life is strangled & weighed down by needless bureaucratic meddling. This constant interference by a totalitarian state effects every aspect of life, including the fundamentals of identity & relationships. Desperate revolutionary struggles only seem to push society further & further into chaos. Resolution seems futheat away at the end. Is resolution just a made up term, destined to be updated and refashioned into something unrecognizable?
