The Dark Side of Palworld: Cute Creatures and Dark Themes
A game that combines adorable collectable creatures with dark themes such as gun violence, enslavement, and the slaughtering of humans and Pals alike, Palworld has recently revealed that even the cutest Pals have a dark side.
A Dark Twist in Palworld
On the surface, Palworld appears to be a charming game where players can collect and train their favorite Pals and create a cozy home for them. However, things take a dark turn when a wild Pal is defeated for the first time. Instead of simply fainting like in Pokémon, the Pal will die. Its lifeless body remains on the ground as a reminder of the player’s actions. Despite attempts to kick it or roll it off a cliff, the fact remains that the player has taken the life of a Pal.
