Art can serve several purposes. Your tastes are valid as a preference, but fun and escapism are only a small part of what games as an art form can provide. Would you critique a piece of visual art (for example, Guernica) by saying “this isn’t very fun”?
Split personality character, listed as “Dog/God” in the wiki. Dog is the half that is subservient and dumb, God is the half that is cold and calculating. The character’s questline has you helping one or the other take over fully, or helping reconcile them into a single personality. Pretty interesting one!
Man, a real shame but I hope it’s for the best for everyone involved. The in house animation creator sounds cool but also like a massive time sink.
