    What are these sorts of games called? I used to love them and would like to find more. Like above view, characters just walking about going through doors solving mysteries but with funny dialogue?

    I love in the 90s this probably easily flew over everyone’s heads because there would have only been like 3 places reviewing the game and it seems to be a missable line of dialogue. Also anyone that found it would have been talking about it in their friends group or at it’s widest posting on a bbs with a couple hundred members max.

    In 2024 this game get reviewed by a dozen websites this screenshot get posted before the game even releases and right wing chuds are posting about and review bombing it on steam calling it woke nonsense.

    I remember learning about residential schools and stuff in elementary school in the 90s

    Mostly through guests and fieldtrips mind you.

    The 90s in BC was interesting

    I remember renting that game back in the day and not getting very far, so I have no idea if that’s an actual screenshot or not. But it should be.

    Also that game was most non-triumphant, but this is a most excellent message.

      From a GameFAQs guide:

      "Your replies

      (a) Dude, the way that we have treated Native Americans is most non- triumphant!

      (b) Excellent, dude! Cowboys and Indians?! Count me in!

      (aa) Dude, remember the golden rule - be excellent to each other.

      (ab) Dude, violence never pays.

      (ac) I just do not think that we should treate Native Americans in this most bogus way.

      (ba) Before I can enlist, good captainly dude, I must find ___!

      (bb) Look dude, the way that I’ve been treated around here, I have little interest in fighting to defend these people.

      (bc) I’d love to sign up, but ___ has my pen."

      Looks like it was a dialogue option with a Marshal character.
