Information about these remakes is extremely limited, so far. Still,
I'll withhold my usual negativity about the remakes' very existence
until I learn more. Who knows; they might actually be good.

Plot details have been leaked.  In this installment, things have
changed quite a bit from prior MP games.  Max(ine) is now a minority
female who has been faced with the challenge of a new job as Chief
Diversity and Inclusion Officer at a tech company.  Most of the
"combat" is non-violent in nature (thus the title, MP4 Flakes of
Snow), and takes place as Max sits at her computer dealing with
various emails from various toxic white men who try keep trying to
man-splain why the company is failing rapidly using confusing
technical jargon that she doesn't understand.  So the game is kind of
an e-mail answering simulator where you select from dialog choices
that affect how the story line plays out.
