Exile makes everyone outcasts, and it’s from this new position of equality that they can attempt to overhaul the system if they keep working together, challenging previously established conventions. Many of the game’s exiles want to return to it, but that doesn’t mean it is always fair and wouldn’t benefit from diversity. The society in Pyre seemingly works, for the most part. Changing a belief you have held onto for a long time, religious or not, can be difficult. The crisis of faith at the centre of Pyre is also a very modern concern. It’s an empathy that seems to largely be missing in those marching the streets with tiki torches, demanding solutions that benefit themselves first and others never. Instead you play for others, and have the inexplicably strong feeling of cheering someone on from the sidelines.
