Art and Activist Games are a genre that blends artistic expression with social issues, aiming to use games as a medium for raising players' awareness of specific societal, inequality, environmental, political, or cultural concerns while exploring creative and narrative possibilities. Unlike traditional games focused on entertainment, the core purpose of this genre is to foster critical thinking among players. They often employ distinctive visual styles or innovative game mechanics to convey emotions or messages. Artistic elements are not merely decorative but constitute an integral part of the gaming experience.
