If you're looking for touchstones regarding the horror of Pass the Remote, here are some inspirations:

• The Old Lie
• A quote from Ludmila Khersonsky
• The Only Place in the U.S. with Zero COVID Deaths
  
• Maralinga Tjarutja
• Adam Goodes and "The Australian Dream"
• A Memory Called Empire
• The Properties of Perpetual Light / No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies and other writing by Julian Aguon
• The poetry of Kathy Jetn̄il-Kijiner
• The work of James Bridle 

and wherever minorities must fit into acceptable, palatable public roles or be heard not at all.

the tone is impeccable, the visuals stunning and perfectly chosen, and the meandering storytelling super intriguing and wonderful!

Vulnerable and beautiful poem, that really cleverly plays with form to demonstrate its points.  Ben Roswell is a brilliant poet, this doesn't disappoint.

This poem broke Jurassic Park open for me, expanding it's borders. The language of science and movie making is taken from the series and turned to a trans man, in all his completeness and messiness, and dwelling on him. As well as a lovely, well-written piece of literature, this has the best poetry layout and design I've ever seen. Thank you for it!

This is such a lovely looking game, with a super tidy concept.  So much fun!

I... think I'm ready. Picture please!

What an awesome concept for a game! Can't wait to make a whole stack and use it on all my friends. Graphic design is en point too

this is such a fun idea!

I want to congratulate this game for winning the Disc-Horse Free-est Award, which I never thought I would see awarded in my lifetime! Congratulations all round!

Candid, vulnerable, this is so well written and completed by the endearing art. It's Hien's own story, but it's a familiar one, and I'm so honoured that he shared it with us. Also a brilliant example of interactive fiction! thank you for sharing!

Super lovely, tidy little game with sweet narrative, intuitive progressing, simple but fitting graphics and fitting music! Glad I finally got around to playing it. The title is a perfect fit, and I (hope I) learnt something, thank you!

Sounds good, it'd be good to keep it moving, even if someone gets an unfinished round two or just the round one submission. 

I kickstarted this zine, and have found it incredibly useful to consult, muse or read for leisure when it comes to RPG design. A great reference, I definitely recommend it!
