Endgame

In ENDGAME, machina eX goes to the battlefields of the digital civil war. The focus is on a hip start-up that has set itself the goal of nothing less than defending democracy. The company - a powerful mix of NGO, private detective agency and hacking collective - takes on the fight against a new right movement that is becoming increasingly self-confident with contemporary marketing strategies and a growing number of followers.

At their own desks, the 30 players are tasked with researching background information about potential members.

Depending on the quality of the information material obtained, this can not only be used to report individual people, but also to weaken the entire movement. The actors are supported by charismatic team leaders who are involved in online resistance against the far-right for a variety of reasons. At a time when anonymity in social networks is fueling a new, unbridled impudence, the game sheds light on the dark battle zones of the Internet, where there is a bitter struggle for the right to interpret, volume and effective means.
