Riots and revolutions are rarely beautiful.  The outcomes can be, particularly if they result in meaningful social changes that aid the disenfranchised.  However, the process is almost universally messy.  Loud protests, fights, and injuries are all common; one need only look at any number of recent movements – BLM or Free Palestine come to mind – to see how hard the state will crack down on noble goals.  Into this complicated subject matter enters Anarcute, a game which simultaneously sands down the harsh realities of protesting with an adorable visual style while also laying the consequences bare, with protestor bodies littering the streets after major confrontations.  It’s a weird little game, but one that managed to captivate me despite some occasional hiccups.
