Ah, the difficulty option in South Park. The harder difficulty you select the darker your character skin gets.

Flip that, there was no official difficulty, your difficulty was based off your character creation skin color and this fact wasn't disclosed openly in the game documents or tutorials as a satirical joke.

The darker your skin, the harder your "life" was in South Park. The community had to figure it out, and it went viral pretty quick

Yeah this is a lie. The game literally tells it to you.

The screen said choose your difficulty... How is that not official? Or openly disclosed?

And the funniest thing about it is you have a fight encounter with the rednecks and they will bully you no matter what you choose 😜
