About the Story

You’re late for work again. You amble confidently down London’s Whitehall on the way to work.

But what’s this?

That looks like embattled Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn striding toward you. As always you’re excited to see him and can’t wait to tell everyone but lately you can’t shake the feeling that he might be about to join ISIS.

Is now your chance?

Can you stop Jeremy Corbyn from joining ISIS?

Corbyn is the absolute boy, January 9, 2018

Absurdist silliness in the style of Clickhole's Choose-Your-Own-Clickventures. Does exactly what it says on the tin: you play a struggling journo following Corbyn around, convinced he's about to join ISIS. Adds a slice of political satire to the mix: a jab at the right-wing British media, but this is unlikely to be toppling the establishment anytime soon. It's more about the protagonist than the February 2018 GQ Cover Star. Lots of losing endings, so lots of replayability. Is there a winning ending? I didn't find one. I laughed.

I mean, the writing is funny, June 29, 2024
by cgasquid (west of house)

Clever bit of dry, political British humor. You encounter Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on the street and have to keep him from joining a terrorist organization. I can't help but feel this was probably more topical when it was created.

Still, it's not bad per se. It's brief, it's more of a CYOA than actual interactive fiction, and there's nothing literary about it. But it's worth a few chuckles and trying for a few different endings.

Great, short humor game, June 27, 2021

Excellent comedy writing, walking the line of British dryness without ever dipping into boring, which it does by having perfect, understated zips of absurdity. More than once a line or a result had me laugh out loud. Really well done. Only wish there was more of it to play!
