If it were me, and I had that reaction to a interactive story that so many other people got so many other different experiences from, I would explore that dissonance because it reveals something.

Not saying “go play the game again” if you don’t like it you don’t like it, but I would consider thinking about how and why a dark, bleak-toned reading experience left so many other people feeling one way, and you another. I found it hilarious but also you have the choice in the story to view the bleak world as either a tragedy or a comedy and everything in between… do you feel that kind of agency in life or are you stuck in some way?

Not asking for an answer, just queuing rhetorical questions I would ask myself in that position.
