We rescued Rachel Walker from a sweatshop and recruited her to the cause. Safe in our hideout, she revealed a talent for using computers, carrying out simple scripting operations to defraud unwary internet users. After a few months of cracking corporate accounts, she uncovered a huge corruption scandal that rocked the judicial system, scoring our first major PR victory.
Her deft fingers also helped theLiberal Crime Squadbreak into multiple factories and offices. She smashed up machines, she took part in unlawful protests against the government. She killed eight people.
Rachel Walker is eleven years old.
I quite like the optional fascist state start, ostensibly harder as anything remotely subversive carries an automatic death penalty, but simpler since if you’re gonna get shot for singing a protest song, you might as well take the gloves off and murder your way to a better world.
Its interpretation of what is “liberal” (and even the false binary of liberal vs conservative) is already rather quaint in an era when people are finally starting to acknowledge that society is divided along more axes than that. But I like that your actions can lead to the public being extremely critical of the police, but also opposed to promoting racial equality, or deploring animal research while being fine with state torture of humans. Maybe it’s not so outmoded after all.
It’s free too, and much more approachable than the toady one’s meeny miney men manager.
