Steam always has a ton of new games, but one game has make headlines this week at an exorbitant $2,000 price tag. That game, The hidden and the unknownHowever, it’s really not worth your time, especially considering that it has an extremely long prologue that collects information about men’s rights and the human “reproductive cycle.” Oh.

Developed by ProX.team, The hidden and the unknown is the latest indie Steam game to gain some internet attention for a number of reasons. Yes, it really $2,000. Yes, it really lost less than two hours to complete. And yes, it really do only one Star Wars-like the opening reel is eight minutes long and completely non-skippable. These aspects alone make the game a bit curious for gamers like me who are interested in what’s happening on Valve’s PC distribution platform. LakeHowever, it is the point of the opening paragraph that raises my eyebrows because it is that “most Western men today are feminine” and “not capable of leading”. In other words, soy boys are a no-no.

“There is an idea called the Human Cycle that cannot be stopped as long as the human race continues to exist,” begins The hidden and the unknownscrolling text is open. “This has been happening since the birth of civilization, however, with unprecedented advances in science, things may not be the same as before. While in the past only a small part of the population could withstand weakness, the situation is different today. Most Western men today are feminine, while most Western women today are masculine. Men mistake weakness for good and should not offend women, while women take on more masculine roles because their men are pathetic, weak, and incapable of leadership.” This goes on for eight consecutive minutes, my friend.

But what is The hidden and the unknown? Well, it’s a non-interactive visual novel about a kid named Brian who you’ve never actually seen. Brian is like most kids in that he plays soccer, goes to school, sleeps in his room, hangs out with friends (who you don’t even see) and plays video games based on Browser. The only difference is that, after Brian was disowned by his friends because the girls were (similarly) mocking him, he somehow connected with Artificial Intelligence 2123 , is actually just Brian from the future trying to save this digital. world from the brink of extinction due to lack of babies. You see, Brian, now disillusioned and detached from everyone and everything, has no interest in relationships or procreation as his boys have turned away from him and the girls are mock him. 2123, this AI is said to strike a balance between masculine and feminine energies, wanting to help Brian make friends and eventually find love to prevent the “extinction-level danger” that is non-population growth.

There’s so much to unpack here, I don’t even know where to start. However, if you are used to works for men’s rightsa political movement that revolves around the concept of structural discrimination against men, then these discussion points will become the focus. It is dangerous rhetoric peddled by the likes of Andrew Tate, the self-proclaimed misogynist and backed by streamers like Adin Rossbasically all support the highest position of men in a horrible patriarchal society that still exploits women.

In Discord DM with Kotakuone The hidden and the unknown The developer known only as ThePro says the game “loosely follows my own experience”, although it is not “an exact copy”. ThePro explains that, while the game calls “most Western men” feminine and weak, they don’t necessarily believe that “men in general are weak.” However, “anyone with an easy life” will be weak, ThePro said, sharing how the game has been received so far and what they have learned.

I was also “surprised” with this game.

“I heard that the world has become much worse than it used to be, but I admit that I prefer to do my own research before drawing conclusions and the reception has certainly proven to me. found that people were too infatuated with the wrong things,” said ThePro. “They make a lot of money from a price that doesn’t affect their lives in any way, instead focusing on improving not only themselves but the lives of those around them.”

ThePro said they were afraid we might”[lose] the only thing that makes us human,” but declined to elaborate further on what this means. Instead, they simply explain that “both men and women have testosterone and estrogen” and that these energies should be balanced.

“I have been accused of being ‘transgender’ and ‘women’s attitude’ etc., however, I want people to know that I have no problem with men, women, transgender people or any group. any other, as long as they can. to respect me too,” said ThePro. “Those who accuse me don’t respect me and go straight to the conclusion, it doesn’t do them well. It’s sad to see that we have to live in a world where everyone gets aggressive all at once, however, I would like to have a positive belief that if we start working together instead of against each other , we will find a way out of the danger of extinction that is most likely under current climate conditions.”

ThePro then goes on to go on at length about the “many possibilities” that could contribute to or cause the extinction of humanity: nuclear war, global economic crisis, lithium abuse, estrogen in plastic products , etc. At the end of the day, it looks like ThePro is using The hidden and the unknown to promote some form of ideological rhetoric about the need for men to “take the lead” because, otherwise, we are all doomed. What a revelation.

So yeah, you don’t have to check The hidden and the unknown. If you have the money and beat it in less than two hours (which is totally doable) you can get a refund under Steam Refund Policy. But why would you put yourself in such a boring and frankly philosophically meaningless game I can’t.
