Themes
editIn an interview with Gizmodo, Howitt's partner Maz Hamilton explained the game's use of anti-fascist vampires:
"I think there are an absolute ton of people from marginalized groups for whom the idea of adopting, even embracing, a monstrous-ness and embracing a monstrous identity in order to violently commit direct antifascist action is an extremely relevant thing right now.”[2]
Reception
editEat the Reich was nominated for four ENNIE Awards in 2024, including "Product of the Year," "Best Cover," "Best Art – Interior," and "Best Adventure – Short Form."[3]
