The Dictator Part III
Project Overview
Somewhere in southeast Asia there exists a country that closely resembles North Korea. It has a ruthless dictator who keeps his subordinates in check, however each of them have a moral code and in this installment the moral code is piqued as the dictator goes too far and orders his his subordinate, Sato, kill not only his Mother-in-law, Sanai, but also their daughter (and Sato's wife) Nagisa, before taking his own life. This was all set into motion by the father, Akio, who knew the consequences of being caught whilst defecting. but did it anyway to no longer be under the cruel boot of the dictator.
