This game fights the corruption of politicians, crooks, and greedy tycoons across the globe

Some game designers take on serious topics, and that’s the case with the small team at Skyless Game Studios in Philadelphia. They’re creating a game called Follow the Money that takes on the fight against corruption around the globe.

Skyless is doing so with the expert help of a non-profit anti-corruption training group, Repatriation Group International, to create a first-of-its-kind video game to simulate anti-corruption training. This serious game has been in the works for more than two years, and it is one more example of how video games can be about more than just fun and entertainment.
