Today while playing, I was introduced to the hideout of the revolutionaries. As I met different people, I was informed that they all were told I had photographic evidence of the person who stabbed their leader. The idea was that I could pick out the suspicious person and call out who was the mole. Normally when playing this game, I have gut-wrenching moments during the torture scenes. However with today's game play, this came during the flash back in the hide out.

In the rush of being discovered by the police, I was asked to tell the leader who had betrayed him. This absolutely blind sided me, I was not prepared in the slightest with the short time I had had to accuse anyone of something of this magnitude. I ended up simply guessing who it was with the little information I did have and I apparently got it completely wrong, as was revealed to me later during an interrogation scene. This felt completely unfair and there was no true justifiable way to reach a healthy conclusion at that point.

Mmmmm, questioning the ethics of torture could be interesting. For instance, is the torture justified if looked at from Kant's moral philosophy or categorical imperative? You mostly talk about torture in your gamelogs for 1979, could there be an ethical question there?
