Need a plain no-BS answer

In the end of the day, it's all going to boil down to making fun of the the left or the right, so let's get this out of the way. Does the game have left or right-leaning agenda? I don't care about YOUR personal opinion, I just want a quick answer. Thanks.

Both, depending on your choices your character will lean towards advance, disrupt, or neutral. While the game itself covers both while neither. The story of the game talks about everything but currently we only know a lot about Advance compared to Disrupt.

[Instigator]

No. The game does not have an agenda. It is satire/parody. It pokes fun of whoever you think it pokes fun at. It's in the eye of the beholder.

[Frozen]

Dude, it's a game. Who cares. Enjoy the fun dialogs, the fun, Andrea Valls :), the deliberately goofy acting, etc.

[Aturchomicz]

Very anti Left I suppose but it seems to be a pardy though

[Daniel]

Neither. It's just a video game.

It really is just satire. Most characters are extremely over-blown, it is intended as parody. Arguably the Prime Minister characters are both Left and Right wing.

It was probably a prime decision on the writers part to basically have all centrist characters, but extreme centrist, to the point of parody.

i feel it more of a satire of Brits as a whole as opposed to political lean or social background.

So far it's very middle of the road. The ruling party is being hyped as a slightly stereotypical Hard Left party that the game is implying will go bonkers. The right wingers are all already making hillarious fools of themselves from under-educated implying lisps to an Alex Jones allegory that almost makes "turn the friggen frogs gay" look sane (well, maybe not but still). I'm a hard lefty myself and enjoy the heck out of it. No idea what the next "episode" will entail since the released content is basically 3 levels (there might be fourth if you skip your vacation-- I'm not sure).

Very curious and not arguing at all here, what makes them look possibly right wing to you? Maybe I haven't noticed. I'm a lefty myself and have seen signs of dishonesty of the left in the implications of their theme, but maybe I don't understand the signs of fascism or something enough notice the right wing details.

No its 3 broadcasts no matter what you pick between broadcast.

I'm noticing alot of people talking about this, I dont really get why it should matter either way? I mean its video game that has no bearing on reality if it was of actually politics like all about america then yeah I'd get it but as far as I'm considered ita just a nice way to hear a story and mess around. But please if it really does matter as to whether it's alt-left or right and that it's some how government propaganda please enlighten me.

[Linny]

For now, there is very little political content present, but from what I could see, the devs seem to favour liberal (in the european context, so probably libertarian with a bit of egalitarian influence in the american context) politics. It's the classic "both sides are bad" take.
The evil government are neo-bolshewiks, who destroy the nations wealth to finance retarded art projects and there is a moralising trad-catholic character, who is being made fun of as being degenerated himself.
Overall the game isn't very political, but very silly. I would describe myself as a rather hardline (i.e. moralising) nationalist and enjoyed it a lot.

First, "alt-left" isn't a thing. "Alt-right" is a term because it's literally both an ideology and actual group.

Anyway here's my perspective. The fact that it's a game means that many of us would like to play it for fun or an experience. However, a lot of us have been through the ringer of argument with people in an opposing field of politics so many times or have had such personal experiences with them that we know that experience in its own right --and it can be the exact opposite of fun.

Examples assuming the select members of each group described just wanted to play a game: Conservative scented communities like traditional Christians may find a game full of criticism of their religion to be nauseatingly annoying. Liberal scented communities like LGBTQ+ may find games full of Christian homophobic apologism and come to angry Jesus messages to even be blatant reminders of literal abuse they've face in their family. Active self-describing right wingers.... their abuse of the already mind numbingly misleading term "triggered snowflake" whenever they're criticized comes to mind.

Active self-describing left wingers... well, personal example instead here: I've spent so much time researching political issues carefully and becoming aware of my strengths and weaknesses as an interlocutor and activist that seeing misinformation put in the spotlight and ranted to me while I'm trying to play feels like a bad day ending in being required to go back to work with a headache and sit through a reprimand by a no accountability boss who genuinely is only wrong and after my job. I'll certainly do it if it's a practical measure I'm taking for research or activism... but for fun? ♥♥♥♥ that.

I'm sure I could correct some phrasing here and more, but for a rough draft primer I think this is good. Please don't mistake any of it for aggressiveness on my own part. I genuinely was just trying to break it down.

Thank you for the clarification, I never really put it into that prospective. Personally when I saw this game I took it for its face value of just being a fun little game.

[tepig37]

It seams like they have intentionally made it ambiguous. The core policies of the political party so far seam left leaning/communist. But the charters seam to poke fun at right leaning figures, the male party leader seaming to be an exaggerated Nigel Farage for example.
I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't left leaning figures they mock and right leaning policies the party try to enforce in future episodes

[DemonWolfSprite]

the only "agenda" is pro-government or anti government" no left or right.
