The Onion’s First-Ever Video Game Skewers American Politics Just Ahead of the Midterms

For decades, satirical publication The Onion has been the leading voice for razor-sharp political comedy. Now, at a time when the site feels like it's reaching an unhinged peak, it can add another accomplishment to its résumé: video game developer. Well, more or less. After releasing The Onion Voting Simulator 3D on its website earlier this month, The Onion’s first-ever game is now available for free on Steam. The short, lo-fi game draws inspiration from PC classics like Chex Quest to gleefully lampoon American democracy (and The Onion’s former owners) just in time for the midterm elections on Nov. 3.
