Climate and democracy activist and aspiring indie game dev from London UK. Can I make a game about climate and political activism that anyone will want to play?

🚨BREAKING: Activists have imprisoned DANGEROUS TERRORISTS Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett statues in Parliament Square.
They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.
The heroes the government celebrates would be imprisoned today under their extreme laws.
