To clarify, the three entities you speak of are the Astral Cat, the Black Goat/Void, and the janitor? If I recall, the game heavily implies that the Astral Cat was the game\\\'s \\\"God\\\", when Mae flat-out says that it\\\'s what others call God to Karen, and continue to call it so later. Angus is portrayed as unassuming and thoughtful, while Pastor K\\\'s religion, aside from being impotent, is also shallow and vague. But there are the other scenes and characters to consider, along with various interpretations on the entities, so I\\\'m probably wrong.
As for capitalism... ugh. I hardly even know what \\\"capitalism\\\" and \\\"socialism\\\" are anymore, so I don\\\'t know why I\\\'m talking. But I\\\'ll take a crack at it. The game had already seemed to be showing a left-wing slant, but nothing irregular. But having the only outspoken conservatives be the villains, a person-sacrificing cult that goes into a motive rant about government regulations, immigrants and \\\"lazy people\\\" pushed it over the edge for me. Bea even gets to call them out on being well off, despite neither she or the player even knowing exactly who they are.
But I guess any work about \\\"capitalism\\\" would be divisive. Maybe add a note about how the cult pushed it too far?
