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

The Onion Voting Simulator 3D, The Onion's first-ever game, is now available for free on Steam after launching on its website earlier this month. The short, lo-fi game draws inspiration from PC classics like Chex Quest to lampoon American democracy and The Onion's former owners ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Head writer Mike Gillis explained the game's origins and the satire opportunities the publication sees in gaming ahead of its Steam launch.
