A school shooting videogame made by the parents of a victim aims to change minds about gun control: 'This is not a scary game, it's an educational game'

The Final Exam is a harsh recreation of the horrors of school shootings, and a call to do something about it.
Oof... Man, to live in the US. I don't envy you guys, though things aren't really going the right direction here in the Netherlands, either.
I can't wait to see speed runners cheese it and completely miss its point :/
TBF, generally speedrunners start speedrunning games because they love it to death (ie. have played it through several times already) and want to start challenging themselves in new ways.
Yeah, I get that, but on the more aggressively short cut games, you could argue its not the same game anymore if all the story is now skipped. Still entertaining to watch, and I do occasionally, but it can get a bit silly.
I'm still looking forward to the first:
"Hi guys, today I'm going to show you how the locker skip works, you just run at this locker while tapping crouch, annddddd we are clipped through the ground, and can now run to the exit. Easy game"
:D
? Why come up with a hypothetical outcome just to make yourself mad? Is there some trend of speedrunners ruining educational games I am missing?
No one has a record on speedrun.com time for me to get that world record!
I beleive in you!
It sound like most didn't read the article. You aren't playing as the shooter, it is a horror game where you are the victim trying to escape and/or hide from the shooter.
I haven't read the article, probably won't, doesn't really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don't play as the shooter. I'm surprised others didn't interpret the same way.
No parent should go through what they have gone through. And they want to express that through a game. It is an incredible idea, especially because of interactivity of the medium. I always believe that art can help hold a mirror to the society and this game proves that.
This... Is special kind of stupid lol
You play as a victim running from the shooter though.
It's a 10 minute game, that at the end of it tries to convince the player to vote on new gun laws. Who is this targeting? Gamers that are into horror/terror games have played plethora of great games in that genre, have a hard time believing they'd even care to download the game for those 10 minutes.
Why? It sounds like haunting experience from what I've read
Uhm, Columbine RPG anyone?
Can't wait for this to release and then be sited as a reason why the next shooting happened by Republicans because "It's them dang video games desensitizing these kids to violence."
It is released, you can download it from their website https://www.thefinalexam.us/
uh no, i think the point would be that it's a scary game. This isn't a fucking beavis bacon teaches you typing simulator game.
Beavis teaches typing would probably be a riot
that would most certainly make for an interesting experience.
nice instance btw
From the trailer and article this looks and sounds well done. It reminds me of Amnesia, at least in that type of psychological horror.
This game makes me SMILE because it SHOWS me that TRANS KIDS EXISTING are WORSE then LITERALLY BEING GUNNED DOWN!
