Arcade Cabinets For A Satirical Trump RPG Have Appeared In Washington D.C.

If the Trump administration keeps using video games to spread its propaganda online, I guess it’s fair that people use video games to make fun of him, as well. That’s what someone’s been doing by recently installing arcade cabinets in Washington D.C. for a satirical RPG called Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell. You can play as Trump and do things like order Diet Coke, burn the Epstein Files one by one, or fight bad guys like a “low flow showerhead” in Iran.

The game was made by a pseudo anonymous developer called Secret Handshake, and while folks in D.C. can play the game at one of the arcade cabinets at the National Mall, if they feel so compelled, people can also play through a parody of the Trump administration’s evil stupidity by using your browser and vising the Secret Handshake website. 

Admittedly, I’m pretty much over treating anything Trump does as if it’s something that can be adequately made fun of in a way that outweighs how awful his administration has been in just one year back in office. I played enough of it to get a screenshot for this blog and was immediately turned off by the chip tune patriotic music because this shit’s just not funny for me anymore.

But hey, folks who have played more of it say that it’s actually not a bad RPG on a systemic level. So hopefully these mystery devs are working on an original game about something that’s actually cool at some point.
