When

Wed 13 May, 6–7pm

Online experience

You're an emotionally dead combat-substance fueled grunt of Cruelty Squad, a depraved subsidiary company tasked with performing wetworks for its host conglomerate. Will you make the Corporate Arch Demoness proud or succumb to bitter tears of failure?

Join the Women, Trans, and Gender Diverse Gamers Club for an assault on the senses with Cruelty Squad, an all-out tactical FPS and immersive sim that employs aggressively ugly aesthetics; a surface of sludge that both repels and beguiles.

This game won’t hold your hand; it’ll shove you down into its hellscape and you’ll have to find your way out of a sheer sense of survival. But that’s just what it’s like living in a hypercapitalist world that prioritises growing the wealth of billionaires over the prosperity of everyday people.

Content warning: This game is not recommended for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Low-polygon depiction of violence, decapitation, dismemberment, drug use, profanity and nudity.
