I know I played Pajama Sam as a kid, but I definitely have way fuzzier memories of it than the Pooh Bear games I also had and played a lot more often.
I would absolutely play a game with cartoonish design, kiddie humor, and a serious leftist political theme that’s a small part of it but ever present. Real “baby Bolsheviks/is this a political party or a playgroup” vibes. Maybe Pooh Bear wouldn’t work as a theme, but I’d definitely enjoy a teddy bear theme for that. So many opportunities for a Soviet Bear joke! Concept/cover art could have a stuffed grizzly and stuffed panda bear recreating a pose from one of those infamous Soviet/Chinese friendship posters! Y’know, something like Kindergarten - a lot of the characters are kids, the art style reflects that, but while a lot of childish jokes and occurrences are involved, the underlying theme is absolutely Not Actually For Kids.
They need to make a game that’s like Pajama Sam meets Disco Elysium, but 75% Pajama Sam
