Player Experience and Interpretation Playing Black Flag and Rogue back-to-back encourages reflection. A player beginning with Black Flag may empathize with Edward’s longing for freedom, then experience cognitive dissonance when Rogue reframes revolution as potentially destructive. Conversely, starting with Rogue might predispose one to skepticism about insurgency, making Edward’s story feel like a cautionary prologue. NSPECT, as a curatorial device, encourages such comparative playthroughs, asking players to assemble a composite judgment about rebellion: it is neither wholly virtuous nor wholly corrupting.
