Steam game priced at $2,000 features unskippable men's rights monologue

Steam game priced at $2,000 features unskippable men's rights monologue

The Hidden and Unknown will cost you $2,000 and you'll have to sit through an eight-minute men's rights monologue.

It’s no secret that gaming is an expensive hobby. I remember back in the day venturing off to buy Professor Layton and the Lost Future and young Kate thought that dropping £30 was the epitome of peak spending. Now, look at us. You’ll likely have found yourself parting with £70 in recent months if you want to get your hands on the latest PlayStation and Xbox releases.

Let’s not forget collector’s editions which cost even more. I may have purchased the Firefly Edition of The Last of Us Part I recently which follows the annoying new trend of providing us with a lovely case yet a digital copy of the game. Make it make sense. Anyway, my point is that we’re increasingly spending more and more. One survey found that the average US gamer spends $58,000 (£46,837) on the hobby during their lifetime. You won’t believe the price of this latest Steam release though which takes things to new heights.

The Last of Us Part I soon lands on PC. Take a look at the game below.

The Hidden and Unknown is now available on Steam, but it will cost you a whopping $2,000. Developed by ProX.team, the game is thought to be around two hours long. What’s super weird though is that the ‘game’ opens with an unskippable men’s rights monologue. As reported by Kotaku, the eight-minute long monologue is both bizarre and disturbing.

“There is an idea called The Human Cycle which cannot be stopped as long as humanity continues to exist. This has been the case since the inception of civilisation, however, with unprecedented advancements in science, things might not be the same as they used to be,” it begins. “Whereas previously only a small portion of people could afford being weak, the situation is different today. Most western men today are feminine, while most of the western women today are masculine. Men mistake being weak as being good so they do not offend females, while women take on the more masculine role as their men are pathetic, weak, and incapable of taking the lead.”

I won’t relay any more of it because I think we can all agree that that passage alone is enough toxic drivel for one day. The game claims to be a visual novel about a boy called Brian who’s informed by AI that he needs to save the world from extinction due to a lack of baby-making. I don’t know about you, but I can’t bear to hear anymore.
