It's a pretty common problem tbh. I think the textbook case might be Starship Trooper. In all honesty I might have missed the point if I hadn't been spoiled beforehand xD

It's especially tricky when it comes to capitalism cause it has the structure of a game. Basically almost all management games are some form of normalization of capitalistic mechanism.

I'd say you're pretty safe within the confines of the jam, the title is fairly explicit, it'll be pretty obvious that it's satire with context. But to be more safe generally, if I were you, I'd put a disclaimer at the start, either on the loading screen like South Park, or on the menu screen, or in the credits if you'd rather be discreet and have your satire be "believable".

Yeah I was definitely going to go for a South Park like a disclaimer and there would be tons of hints that this is satire, but my concern is that some weirdo would ignore all that and think "this is really fun". Thanks for he input!

that unfortunately is something you'll never be able to prevent 100% i think =/ history of satire is riddled with examples xD
