Sounds a bit like Jetset - a satirical game by Ian Bogost of Cow Clicker fame. You're a TSA agent who must comply with the ever-changing set of passenger screening rules. From what I gather, it was a game designed explicitly to infuriate the player.
- saraid216 13y agoYou were closer with the word "satire". This kind of game is Ian Bogost's specific shtick; it's worth looking him and his writing up if you haven't already.
- _delirium 13y agoI think there's a bit of that in Jetset, but the tone is lightened by quite a bit of mockery in humorous choices of items and silly rules. It still has some of the angle of trying to keep up with a pointless bureaucracy, but the whole operation takes on a farcical quality, so the critique of the TSA it implies ends up being more like "clown cops doing security theater", not TSA=1984.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoTo be fair, that seems like a much more accurate characterization of the TSA.
