I would like to mention When Rivers Were Trails. It’s an Indigenous take on Oregon Trail that basically pokes fun at how European settlers made their journey across America overcomplicated and dangerous simply because they thought the “savages” were idiots and their culture and way of life were inferior to their own.

The only way to die of dysentery in the game is to eat settler-colonial food and really the only source of danger over the entire game is from European settlers.
*PLEASE NOTE: Apparently there is now some weird casino-malware bullshit in the file. I had no issues or any knowledge of it when I played it on linux through steam though, just a heads up.
I think so? Or maybe it was the file from the creators personal website… I wrote an essay on this game and that was something the prof brought up a bunch of times.

Explains this, I guess. That sucks.

I dled the PC file and pointed steam to the .exe, worked fine with that; going through proton at least.
