Discrimination on Mars, October 20, 2020This is a short game with two choices, each one being ‘support protestors’ vs ‘don’t support protestors’ (with a middle-of-the-road option in some playthroughs).
You play as someone on Mars who is in a relationship with someone who is either marginalized or very socially active.
I believe that all people are equal before God and I believe that racism is abhorrent. I believer that I am a beneficiary of a system that benefits white people over other races, and that change is necessary and requires personal effort from privileged peoples to stop practices that harm other races and foster those that strengthen them.
But i don’t believe the choice structure in this game is an effective way to communicate any of those messages.
As a final note, the game was polished and well-written.
+Polish: The game is thoroughly polished.
+Descriptiveness: It was well-written.
-Interactivity: See my thoughts above.
+Emotional impact: It certainly got a reaction out of me.
-Would I play again? I don't plan on it.
