Background

With the postal vote quickly approaching, Agency wanted to shed light on the many obstacles standing in the way of equality. The road to progress has long been hindered by systemic processes and ingrained prejudices - and what better way to highlight these hurdles.

Styled as a retro-inspired runner, we developed a game that encapsulates the frustrations of striving for equality. You play as a letter racing to the postbox, navigating challenging terrain and dodging unexpected obstacles. The game fully embraces its quirks — think tricky hitboxes and fail screens that might just haunt you (two words: "laser speedos").

It's not easy and you might get a bit enraged - that's the point!
