A 27-year-old programmer from India has developed a satirical video game that draws inspiration from demonstrations organized by the Cockroach Party. These protests were originally sparked by claims of discrepancies within electoral lists. Within the game, users assume the perspective of demonstrators navigating various challenges, including encounters with law enforcement. The gameplay mechanics simulate the experience of facing crowd control measures such as water cannons, tear gas, and baton charges deployed by authorities to disperse the crowds. This digital project serves as a commentary on the real-world political tensions surrounding the electoral controversy.
