Independence, Missouri
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Everyone in the party has died! Nothing beside remains! Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away!
Independence, Missouri was made for the itch.io Mystic Western Game Jam over the course of two weeks. It is based on the classic 1970s educational game The Oregon Trail along with the classic Percy Bysshe Shelley poem Ozymandias.
You can read anything I've written about making Independence, Missouri on my blog. You can view the Independence, Missouri press kit as well.
Independence, Missouri has been written about on Oujevipo, The Austin Chronicle, Warp Door, and Kill Screen.

Interesting. Not having played the game referenced (but only two parodies) I'm sure I don't get it properly but still.
