Ah well. A lower priority than it had been, but nonetheless an item of interest for the postapocalyptic London/propaganda elements, even with less monster content than I'd hoped...

There is a lot of deliberate ambiguity regarding that kind of thing. There is a massive amount of room for interpretation and the creation of your own, personal Hot War, where the strangeness (or otherwise) of the technology and monsters is left to your own interpretation.

Once we get the Hot War wiki fully up and running, I'd be delighted to see people adding their own monsters and other creations to it.

edit: And for those interested in other reviews of the game, there's one from Bruce Baugh available to look at here.

Cheers
