Little Blue Men

by Michael S. Gentry

You are in your dreadful office: at your separate corner to be exact. On your desk there are an in-tray, an out-tray and a telephone. You are carrying a creased dollar bill.

This game is a joke. This game is a warning. This game is a satire. This game is inspired in equal parts by Vaclav Havel’s “The Memorandum” and Hunter S. Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. This game is a big, stupid shaggy dog story.

Little Blue Men is, at bottom, a highly bizarre game. It begins in a ho-hum office setting and abruptly shifts into…well, it’s hard to say. Sci-fi/horror/dystopia/fantasy, maybe. The result, though uneven in spots, is certainly unique, and rather disturbing as well: familiar elements of the office environment are given a sinister cast, and the game is enlivened throughout by macabre humor.

Play this!
