The holy can of the cannery

"Inspired by Bertold Brecht's "Saint Joan of the Stockyards" this game explores the internal contradictions of a crashing market society: In order to stay in competition, companies are forced to modernize and automate their production lines. The fired workers lose their income and can't afford even basic commodities. So while more than ever is produced in the factories, fewer and fewer people are abled to afford the goods, continuing the downwards spiral. It is a total loss of control.

"In these crises, there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity—the epidemic of over-production."

This project was done for the gmtk gamejam 2020.
