Fuck the System

Fuck the System is a quirky experimental game with unassuming heroes who save their own lives. The game explores different systems of oppression such as heteronormativity, patriarchy and depression. It's a coming of age story that deals with what it's like to be young and confused but how with enough perseverance (like video games), challenges can be overcome. What's cool about it is the ways it engages with different forms of narrative such as diary entries and social media posts. In Fuck the System, you really understand the characters and love to root for them.
