Paradigm is a game that asks the player to contemplate some tough philosophical quandaries. Its story, which revolves around the concept of genetically engineering perfect prodigal children for the wealthy ruling class, forces the player to think about the idea of the rich furthering their dynastic reign over the poor through absolute and unnatural biological superiority.
Likewise, we're left asking the question of whether a child that was constructed virtually with every aspect of them predetermined by their benefactors could ever be a unique individual that is capable of true, independent thought. Do these children, which were not constructed by natural means, have souls? Could they even be regarded as truly human?
Instead of providing us with an answer to these all-important questions, Paradigm would much rather that we forget about them and engage in turn-based combat with a pug who just happens to be the figurehead for a cult that's dedicated to Glam Metal instead.
You know what? I'm okay with this.
