"The modern constituency has become the TV audience following along at home. Even if you wanted to, you can't have a real conversation with a TV audience." -Aaron Swartz

APATHY is a game about the problem with representative democracy in America. It doesn't just tell you about the problem; it lets you experience it firsthand.

As a single voter, your goal in APATHY is to pass or defeat 10 bills that come before Congress. But with so many people, so little time, and so much going on, is your representative really listening to you?

APATHY asks the question: where does apathy come from? Is it really something wrong with the player, or is it perhaps something wrong with the game?
