In case you were wondering how The Chinese Room succeeded in making Hardsuit Lab's version look good in comparison:

Cara Ellison was also an advocate for the inclusion of cringenouns. There was never any "good" here.
I am not implying that either version is actually good. Both versions are shit and the development teams are both incompetent and woke, The Chinese Room just apparently more so.

Oddly, this is actually the second game I’ve seen where centuries old vampires behave like zoomers. That’s not a lot, but it’s odd that it happened twice.

Put your destiny in the hands of three centuries-old vampires in this LGBTQ+ dark comedy visual novel. Play as Noe, a normal human, fanfic writer, and lover of all things supernatural with a distinct lack of self-preservation, as they take a chance and enter the strange house on Dead End Drive with the hope that the rumors they’ve heard about its inhabitants are true. There they find Laurel, Ilyas, and Valeria, and they quickly discover that there’s no escape, but not all endings are fatal.

Valeria Andrei (She/They)
Laurel Portman (He/They)
Ilyas Al-Rai (He/Him)

Is there any reliable introduction manual into pronouns? I’m starting to get confused.

Normal people don't use pronouns manuals. Avoid the rest.

Thing is, nowadays it seems only zoomers are making games about vampires. They’re all like that now. Pronouns, bland boring characters, bland boring plots… I once spent twenty or thirty hours on one of these zoomer games trying to get my Bloodlines fix. (A different one from that linked above, don’t get confused.) Including multiple replays. It was deeply unsatisfying. Zoomers can’t write worth shit: Their characters are either boring or lolrandom, a far cry from Troika.

Personally, I think that "zoomers" are the same invention as the other generations. It is not possible for all people born at one point in time to have the same characteristics. Rather, companies look for and employ people with stereotypical characteristics. However, this is a continuation, not a new quality. The change occurred first in the mentality of senior developers. Think Cliff Bleszinski or David Jaffe. Or him:

I clearly said "more incompetent and woke". And I am saying that, because the game looks even worse now. Sorry (not sorry) if you disagree.
You posted a picture of cringenouns even though the previous team also used cringenouns. So no, that would not be a reason why it looks worse.

What are you trying to prove? That all degenerates that use "cringenouns" are equally incompetent?
