A current issue repainted in a fantasy world in Twine, January 13, 2018This game was inspired by the debates in America surrounding the law passed in North Carolina restricting transgender individuals from using bathrooms besides those of their biological gender.
This game isn't really an allegory, as exactly the same things are happening in this world as in ours. Rather, it reframes the discussion using fantasy techniques to give events a greater emotional impact.
I played through one branch to the end, and rewound a bit to get three different endings. The Twine styling and coding was beautiful, with links represented by +'s for links that furthered the study and *'s used for asides.
It took less than 25 minutes for me. The interactivity was interesting, because it spells out the consequences of your choices in an in-game way.
Fans of DeNiro's other works or of topical commentary will appreciate this game.

| Little Blue Men, by Michael S. Gentry Average member rating: (62 ratings)This game is a joke. This game is a warning. This game is a satire. This game is inspired in equal parts by Vaclav Havel's "The Memorandum" and Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". This game is a big, stupid shaggy dog... |
