Absolutely loved this game. Weird-as-you-want worldbuilding, characters you instantly care about, and all building towards an almost (but not quite!) guaranteed tragic ending. Get it.

Having a hard time reconciling exactly what these policies will mean for game designers who sell on
itch.io
in any capacity. So many games "contain" these themes and topics without having them as part of the narrative... the line isn't in the sand, it's somewhere underwater and constantly moving.

in an age of what feels like perpetual war and infinite cultural replications and homages to it, check out a game that turns a classic war game on its head to invite players to ask thoughtful questions and explore a radical vision of disarmament as not a possibility but an inevitability

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

From now through November, we're gonna hear about how NYC is different and how we cannot think that what works here will work everywhere. But this part absolutely will: Create an active (not reactive) vision for what the world could be. Motivate people to build that world together, with you. Win.
