The Game: The Game

Angela Washko

The Game: The Game is a video game presenting the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists) through the format of a dating simulator. In the game these pick-up gurus attempt to seduce the player using their signature techniques taken verbatim from their instructional books and video materials. Pitting players up against six prominent seduction coaches who are vying for your attention at a bar, the game provides the opportunity for players to explore the complexity of the construction of social behaviors around dating as well as the experience of being a femme-presenting individual navigating this complicated terrain. It is accompanied by a musical score thoughtfully composed by Xiu Xiu.

*The work was supported in part by funding from the College of Fine Arts Faculty Fund for Research and Creativity and a Frank-Ratchye Fund for Art at the Frontier Grant.
