It was extremely rare for shell shock to be an executable offense. It is only partially documented a handful of times.

The game is based off World War I. But there are still many moments that drive home how terrible the conflict was. There's a chance 1/2

2/2 that when a character gets hurt, or killed, instead of yelling or crying out, they'll yell for their Mother. I die inside every time.

Dude, check out Red Orchestra 2. Some of the dying cries go on for minutes at a time. It's not fun in an arcadey sense, but it is immersive.

No wars are nice wars, but it's hard to argue that WW1 was anything less than exceptionally horrific, even compared to WW2 and genocides.

There were some pretty horrific scenes, I'll grant you that. In fact, I carry a commemorative coin from the Somme around everywhere I go 1/2

Gary Paulsen has a great book called Soldier's Heart about a teenager in the Civil War. Really shows how it sets in and ends pretty darkly.

Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy goes over this in excruciating detail, and it's well worth the read.

It took me a full play through to really start to get it. You have to submit to the unknown, accept your inability, than you may be ready.

I have accepted my inability, and uninstalled it! I don't hate the game but it made me feel dumb. Then I spent 100 hours in KSP as therapy.

The moment when things started making sense, that feeling dumb went away and I couldn't stop playing. It took over my mind for a time.
