The Truly Terrific Traveling Troubleshooter (2017)

a game about emotional labour

The Truly Terrific Traveling Troubleshooter, by Jess Marcotte and Dietrich Squinkifer, is a radically soft game that fits entirely inside a carry-on suitcase about emotional labour and otherness. In this game, we speculate about what would happen if emotional labour were valued as it should be — as in, the same way we value other labour.
