One of the game’s Liberal goals, for example, is granting animals the right to marry while Conservative goals include making flag burning legally equivalent to murder, and using death squads to suppress unacceptable speech. While the game positions Liberals as the heroes and Conservatives as the villains, it also depicts both sides as strawmen extremists.
By doing so, it softens the elements of political horror and brings a bit of comedy and absurdity to an otherwise serious topic. The game takes place in a US that caricatures both Republican and Democratic parties in the same tone as political cartoons. The game positions you as the founder and leader of a group concerned with turning the United States away from the oppressive Conservative ideals that have swept the nation, and instead towards more Liberal government policies. This is the world of Liberal Crime Squad, the 2002 freeware game by Tarn Adams. Republicans have gained majority control of the House of Representatives, Senate, Supreme Court, and the Oval Office with commentators describing it as the beginning of a new Conservative era. Don't let the lack of graphics fool you, Liberal Crime Squad is one of the most immersive games of what if surrounding politics.
