I think the original Zombies Ate My Neighbors makes a perfect diving board to creating something that talks about fascism and how it kind of just springs itself on some people. And in this case making people disappear. We’re in a phase where it’s moving very quickly - like a horror movie.

Your design is very well done and eyecatching.

And capitalism is, of course, a major facet of fascism. They’re intertwined in a that horrific to behold in the end. The idea of fighting back anyway you can is very much in the spirit of the moment.

You understood exactly what I was trying to say - an horror movie. The comparison to Zombies Ate My Neighbors as neighbors just ā€˜disappearing’ is spot on for how fascism creeps in. I’m really glad the message landed with you. Thanks again for such a thoughtful comment!

This came up just yesterday. I was out with friends from work, all of them naturalized immigrants, and one of them mentioned how his gardener was deported. Someone asked if he’d already been sent away or was in one of the centers and the person admitted that they didn’t know. We all got quiet as it dawned on us that anything could be happening to that man and he may have no one checking in on him. To your game’s point - it’s better to put up resistance before someone gets taken waiting until its too late and their eaten by the system.

I thought later, ā€œThis came up during the game jam!ā€

Gosh what a terrible situation. I hope that man is okay or at least safe wherever he is. But I have to be honest: I feel powerless and scared. I keep hearing news just like what you described. I saw this jam as an opportunity to try to relieve that feeling… even just a little

Thank you for sharing that story. It makes me want to keep going
