Play Labour | Mario Is a Class Traitor and Other Stories

Labour permeates our world, it's basically everywhere around us. It's a pretty universal experience, and as such it is far from surprising that the act of working would be portrayed in video games. Join us as we explore both early and contemporary examples of labour based gaming as we pick them apart to find out what they are truly saying about the struggles of the working class.

We quickly realized that we should have been a bit more specific as it turned out we got everything from Zelda Breath of the Wild to fun revolution kids game Pikuniku. While we could not fit all that stuff into the video we still appreciate everyone who came up with ideas, it was very interesting to say the least. Here are some of the games that were suggested, and you should probably check them out; Va-11hall-a Tacoma Cart Life Going Under Not for Broadcast Not Tonights Five Nights at Freddy's Viscera Cleanup Detail Umuragami Generation Trauma Center Stardew Valley Desert Bus Overcooked Moving Out Punch Club Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor Human Resource Machine OFF Red Strings Club Everyday the same dream Never Alone Hotline To Build a Better Mousetrap Assemble With Care Sunset
