What country does the game happen in?

[Grugle]

Definitely somewhere in the west.

News report about the Tainted Water was very reminiscent of Britain during covid. As a Brit it felt like a direct satire parody of what happened over here. We even got a two week extention too.

I was questioning the whole setting too, since at first glance the game just filled with american teenager edginess and overall feels like was made by someone having that cultural context. After some time I realized its not that bold and doesn't feel like average stuff you'd see americans make and that just confused me.
Although the suburban area looks like it and the highway with skyscrapers in the distance...
So yeah definitely in the west, if that is what bothers you.

Some of the language used also is indicative of Britain too.

The usage of the term "Motel" is very strange due to it being an American term. However maybe that is part the reason the country is fictional.

Another thing is that the suburbs are definitely European. You wouldn't find a suburb in North America that isn't littered with cars parked on the street, even in some towns in New Jersey where the urban planning isn't as retarded as the rest of the country people park their cars on the streets almost always.

It's a rather strange amalgamation of languages and locations that makes it hard to really pinpoint a place.

Yeah when I saw the Cafe lunch thing. I know damn near instantly. "Yeah this isn't America."

Not saying such horror and nonsense can't happen in the US. Just there's enough tell tale signs that kinda give it away.

The car is left-hand drive so it's not Britain for sure.

I pictured Britan for some reason for no other reason than them having a washing machine in the bathroom and I've only seen that there

Felt more like America to me but I guess I do not have much experience outside of it myself.
