The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, suggesting that perseverance can lead to unexpected outcomes. While there are tools available for creating custom campaigns, users express frustration with the current standalone game's interface and functionality, which hampers their ability to fully engage with the narrative. Additionally, there is a playful acknowledgment of the potential to alter the story through modding, indicating a community-driven approach to storytelling within the game.
“The standalone tag tester needs more work; currently, there's no sound, and I have no idea how to access settings or even the pause menu in a game, meaning you can't see your default game bindings and have to just stumble into them in a mission.”
“Moral of the story, you never know what life holds in store for you, and if I would have given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“[spoiler] I will now proceed to mess up the scripts and story of the final mission and let Johnson make it out in one piece.”
