It does turn into a pretty dark story (it's part of a trilogy that's been translated into English).
The protagonist ends up on the path to be a militaristic, nationalistic, far-right, authoritarian, sadistic, manipulative dictator and rapist (with a cape fetish and father complex) surrounded by a bunch of sycophantic cronies.
You do see a glimpse of his likely fate at the end of the game (from what could be the third game - if it's ever translated), and it's well deserved...
