"Then the wheel falls off while you’re driving, or the autopilot plows into a jersey wall, and you’re meant to be thrilled.* Glad even. Grateful! This is proof: You were an early adopter. A beta tester, a brave explorer. You’re helping to work out the bugs, mapping new territory. Who knows? In a hundred years this car’s descendants might be as reliable as cars that by then will be 150 years old, and you will have played a part in making it so. Won’t that be nice.

It’s more nuanced than that, but generally speaking papal infallibility today only extends to very limited circumstances where the Pope puts on his special papal infallibility hat and says, “I hereby decree…” some specific topic of church law.

Have you tried This War of Mine? It has many of the elements you describe.

A handful of relatives at Thanksgiving wanted to have a conversation/diatribe about what the pope was doing wrong but hey look, I’m gonna go stand over here instead.

I would love to buy this game on sale and never get around to playing it.

Isn’t that what Grounded is? I haven’t played it personally, but it reviews well and that seems to be their aim.
