It’s a 10 minute game, that at the end of it tries to convince the player to vote on new gun laws. Who is this targeting? Gamers that are into horror/terror games have played plethora of great games in that genre, have a hard time believing they’d even care to download the game for those 10 minutes.
it’s an awareness tool, we’re talking about the game right now, people will play it on streams, dumb reactionaries will say stupid shit about it, and we’ll be talking about gun control bills all the while.
It’s like a PSA or political campaign ad, but interactive and intended to be viral.
It’s not trying to win game awards or start a video game franchise
Why would modders start with this basic game that lacks gunplay or NPCs to make a game where you play as a school shooter? The Unreal Engine empty project is closer to what you’d want as a starting point…
You play as a victim running from the shooter though.

I can see modders getting their hands on this and…subverting the original intention say.

The urge to troll?
You can admit you didn’t really give it much thought. I guess doubling down also works, maybe they’ll mod it into a VR GTA clone MMO for lulz
