Wizards vs Scientists. This game is an RPG style story telling game that centers on the player trying to douse a conflict between the two factions: Wizards and Scientists. The main story has many themes that delve into a number of social and political issues, including the true meaning of war, treatment of the LGBTQ community, racism, treatment of soldiers, and the possibility of a true communist ideal. and the steps they are doing to educating other queer youth about game development.
