Layoff Online Games
March 20, 2009
Here is the latest in depressing online games to help you muddle through this economic recession, Layoff. It lets you match up the employees, and send them to the unemployment office to save the corporation money. Only the bankers are exempt! It’s sad and fun at the same time!
The puzzle game created by Tiltfactor Labs and the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Game Design and Development program examines the federal bailout of financial institutions.
“The game has an unsettling feeling, It is cute and fun to play, but when you realize how frightening the situation is, the game in fact functions as a very dark portent.” said Mary Flanagan, the director of Tiltfactor Lab, in a statement.
