I think and hope we could do much better than reusing the trite propaganda images.
Honestly, I would strongly advise against using original political posters and references because they are misleading in a game like this and would require quite some effort to be converted and credible…
The same goes for the game - there is already plenty of characters and concepts in Witness that there is no need to tie them to any real world figures. Too many strings attached.
Was more refering to the aestetic, not to usi g the concrete caracters and posters, but fair enough I see your point.
The scifi setting gives us some freedom here that we should not sqander.

Also stargate atlantis
I like stargate atlantis because it considers 3 dimensional engineering of a seaborne city.
With the recent development of AI generated content, we could make a Witness movie at low or no cost…
