Loki's Loop

The primary aim of this game is for people to experience what it’s like to be fooled. Most people believe only “other” people are vulnerable; but research shows that everyone is susceptible to deceptive information.

The game begins with players confronting their preconceived biases and emotions around the government and a pharmaceutical company putting a substance in the public water supply. They then navigate misleading charts and headlines, deepfake images and videos, and bot accounts in quest of a trusted scientist’s report on Euphorigen’s efficacy and safety. Questions arise when faced with choices at different points in the game. The debrief allows people to reflect on relevant real-life experiences and share their personal strategies.
