The Will to Resist

📜 Dept. of Petty Affairs — Steam Division Addendum



🧾 Exhibit C — The Field Review (Recovered from Steam Systems)

Title: The Roast That Caught Fire in the Oven

I wrote a little “audit” about The Coffin of Andy and Leyley — nothing wild, just a field report about temperature control in the narrative oven. It stayed up thirteen hours, earned poetry awards, and then — poof — someone decided the thermostat was too high.

I didn’t sell anything. I didn’t shout. I just asked why the script twitched when the mirror talked back. Apparently that’s advertising now — guess honesty needs a sales tag.

The game itself? Beautifully grotesque — like someone built a church from matchsticks and left a candle burning. But when critique catches flame, the alarms go off faster than the story develops.

Still, props where it’s due: the atmosphere cooks, the music lingers, and the devs clearly have feelings.

Three stars for the art. Minus two for banning the conversation that made me feel something.

“You can patch code, but not perception.”


⚖️ Analysis

The deletion sequence implies a reflex of narrative control rather than any policy breach. Behavior matches Stage III Ego Burnout: > “I’m not mad, I just want it gone.”

Steam’s auto-moderation caught the smoke, not the fire.
