YOU ARE BASIL BERKLEY …
A 30-something YooToober known for his political commentary and pop culture videos. Aneeta, his fellow YooToober, has disappeared and now he must raise his following (and cash) in order to find and confront her.

His pet peeves include Episode 8, phase 5 films and he does not drive. Basil is married with a wife and child although he never shows them publicly. He loves dark and gritty superhero films and thinks he is way smarter than he actually is.

Suddenly Aneeta, has vanished. Her disappearance has become his day to day obsession. As his fame rises Basil sees the potential to find Aneeta …

WHERE IS ANEETA?
Also a moderately successful YooToober, Aneeta made a series of videos criticising the depiction of female characters in video games and movies. Although her videos continued to slay in the views and advertising revenue, she just went dark!

The channel: gone!

Why would anyone leave behind a successful YooToob career? It’s the question that drives Basil mad … Isn’t being a YooToober with a huge following the ultimate goal in life?

Globe trotting
From Sydney to Paris to the United States to London (and lots lots more) - travel and encounter political correctness at every stop!

Explore Universities, safe spaces, city streets, debate halls and a whole host of environments. Traverse the safe space forest and try to solve the problem and escape YooToob’s mysterious headquarters.

Massive story
A massive point and click adventure game, double the size of Monkey Island, over 100 locations, dozens and dozens of dialogues, debates and of course the usual puzzles.

No deaths are possible. This is a breezy point and click adventure. No Sierra-style constant saving at every corner.

Multiple choices!
Multiple paths to finish the story, with alternate solutions to every puzzle!

Be an alt-right prick, virtue signal and cuck your way to victory OR ride the fence the entire way through.

Fight social gatekeepers with your WIT or your BRAWN

Heh. It'll make for some nice memes.

Other than that, blatant one dimensional "UR POLITICS SO DUM" satire gets old after a few minutes no matter whether anti-left or anti-right. Got to actually be a good game first.

If they actually build in a proper dialogue tree with many different outcomes for those podcast appearances, now that would be something.

"An anti-hate adventure in the tradition of classic Lucasarts and Sierra games. Go on a Political Quest!"

"Anti-Hate"

No thanks, that tells me everything I need to know.
Does it? Who are the haters in this story? I mean, the hero is an old white male, and Aneeta seems to be positioned as the boss monster.

You might be right, you might not. But it's true that if you are the game isn't for you, nor me. We'll see I guess.

If this project had any chance of actually meeting the funding goal it would have been shut down for "hate speech".
