Obscenity is hard to define. “I know it when I see it” has been the colloquial definition since the ‘70s, and it's a fitting one.

Video games, by and large, avoid excess obscenity in favor of the mass-market appeal. But what if a game didn’t give a fuck? Would it rise above being cringey edgelord trash into something that’s actually good?
