Advocacy - an IFDB Poll
by necromancer
RSS FeedI'm interested in games that advocate a political, economic, social, or personal choice with the intention to influence the public, e.g. players of the game, towards that choice.
If you make a comment for the game you can reveal what the game advocates and/or how it advocates it - what part of the game is advocacy?

From the Wiki: "The main part of the story is a series of simulations of the effects of the "Plan for Renewed National Purpose". The policies in the plan are: strong tax cuts, strong deregulation of industry and public life, a strict "USNA first" trade policy, a reintroduction of conscription and mandatory military service for criminals, a reduction in foreign aid, the termination of subsidies for certain industries, and an emphasis on Christian values in education. The plan also includes two constitutional amendments: the term limit for the president is lengthened to 8 years, and the executive branch is given more power."" ( - Full review) --deathbytroggles...

| Candy, by Ryan Stevens 1 vote "An interactive "negative reinforcement" message about body image acceptance" [+]"An interactive "negative reinforcement" message about body image acceptance: This is an unfinished and sloppily-written piece, but if you're looking for a story with a Public Service Announcement of some sort, this comes to mind. The message itself comes across as a loud angry rant by somebody who's frustrated with the current state of society." ( - Full review) --mjhayes... Vote for this game | |
