Popeye -
1) Haha, no, not really. I'm afraid it might spoil the impact. Maybe I will make something similar in style, though.
2) well, it seemed somehow right to me; West Germany was the closest haven of freedom when our country was under communist oppression. I love the Berlin's ambience, too.
Sag Mir, Wo Die Blumen Sind is a pacifist's song about the contrast of calm, unchanging nature and man's drive to war. It reminds me of World War II and the Nazis, who were a clear inspiration behind CountrySons.
Flowers growing on the dead.
I see.
Marlene was quite against the Third Reich, that's right. And she was also lesbian, just like Milena.
I don't know much about Berlin's atmosphere (never been there), but considering the time of the game (2014) and the age of Milena (probably in her late twenties) she could not have too many memories about the communist era. She was probably a small child when the regime fell.
Anyway, it was a real pleasure to play this game and I'm sad its over. The story and the atmosphere of the game grabbed me because I also come from an eastern European country "deep in financial recession", and this euroskeptic pessimism and the slight presence of right-wing extremism is tangible. I hope there aren't any demons to help them, though.
I'd love to see another game similar in style.
Take care!
