For today's critical thought, we turn to how games present morality and choice to the player. Many games fail in this regard by either not going far enough or only relying on a very basic morality framework.

I talked about Shin Megami Tensei and how they use a different kind of morality system. The big discussion was on Undertale which I did had to spoil to talk about how it changes based on the player's morality and choices made.
