Was an engaging and overall excellent game. Big fan of Nicky Case and their work.

I believe, simple tools and explorables such as these can help understand human psyche much more than a volumes of monograph exploring human conditions. I think these game-based explorables will be big in the future for explaining deep and difficult concepts.

Games like this one (and video games more generally, I would say) also self-select for the people who have the patience and the drive to, well, play them, so, if anything, they'll only help with understanding the part of the population that is part of that demographic.

They self-select when they’re spread as viral games, but there’s nothing to stop a teacher from discovering it as a viral game and assigning it as curriculum.

I recommended this to my class and other faculty when taught a class and it fell on deaf ears mostly.

Shame, really, because it is very true and a great exercise for journalism students.

There's also nothing to stop word of a particularly noteworthy game from spreading into the MemePlex as well. It can be countered with memes though, which is what much of our ecosystem is now composed of.
