🚨 GAME zine alert 🚨

“The Valley of Misfit Tech Works” by Yindi.

A role-playing, print and play zine birthed as the final project for the first cohort of Logic School 2021. The game is a tool for reflection to process our journeys through capitalism and through the tech industry, to share experiences, and find camaraderie in realizing different futures.

“Players meander through the valley trying to find a purpose, others to share in the journey, and a path to liberation”

Available in our webstore and directly through Yindi on Twitter.
