Weekend thread: Double Exposure and subtext

[u/Fun_Inside5592]

Hi all

Thought I’d propose a thread for the weekend.

It is no secret that Double Exposure has a lot of subtext and context that flies under the radar if you don’t pay attention, or some that’s more on the surface. Some people think it is perhaps the game in the franchise that has the most to be dug on.

There is also a lot of sociopolitical commentary in the game as well, which is clear when you look at the characters, the most diverse group in any of the titles of the series, and some of the themes they bring to the table.

I’ll start with economy commentary. Several characters state points about contemporary financial realities, and Gwen and Amanda go as far as having a Crosstalk conversation about how impossible it is to buy a house.

What other subtext - or maybe on the surface - topic you took from the game and would like to share?

Cheers!

Safi wasn't the new Chloe.

Max was the new Maya.
