INTERPRETATIONS:

mayzee: «If every cook can run a state, what about a clever woman practicing magic and philosophy? Such was Hypatia of Alexandria, the antagonist of the game. Out of what motive, boredom or revenge, she decided to exclude men from the food chain, correcting the institution of marriage along the way. Hypatia seized power in the city, gathering adherents of her ideology from all corners of time, and it is up to us to dissuade these noble ladies from their delusion.»

Azma Roen: «A game about returning the world to the right state of affairs. Hypatia gained power only thanks to a man and that in the end, turning the world into chaos.»

Few words: «The portal-door is only a connecting link of different times, and not yet devoid of a lack of stay, as the fallacy of any entry, but ultimately overcoming, thus completing any beginnings, after which everything closes up, leaving the player only with his single antagonist, producing all those feminine images that the player hates and only defeating returns everything to the social order from which it all began, until the player initiated the world, engulfed by female madness - the beginning, from which only the ending is meant to be a consolation and a return to tradition.»

I apologize if anyone was offended by this mini-game.
