Reddit reviews Japan: The Paradox of Harmony

Except it's totally in the realm of possibility because Japanese people isn't good when dealing with unexpected disaster, given the context that this game came out in 2012, right after nuclear disaster in Fukushima. There're so many evidences that point to the lack of accountability of human rather than nature disaster got out of hand. In Japanese media, there're also many works that criticize this symptom, the more popular example are the anime Your Name and Shin Godzilla movie in 2016.

Subahibi is very critical about the paradoxical nature of peaceful everyday life. People that seek the world that has no friction (>!Mamiya and his followers!<), people that turn blind eye to the truth just for the sake peace ( >!Kiyokawa and Senagawa!< ), even the prologue >!has 2 dead end because Yuki accepts her Wonderful Everyday!<. It is so peaceful that it becomes toxic-ate, and when disaster hit nobody knows how to react, it is the paradox of harmony. I highly recommend a book called Japan: the paradox of harmony, it is a very nice read if you interesting in the topic that i just discuss, it isn't a must read to enjoy Subahibi but it could enhance the experience a bit when you could understand Japanese's sensibility.
