Satirical Video Game 'Jantar Mantar Chalo' Parodies Delhi Protest Dynamics
A satirical video game titled 'Jantar Mantar Chalo' has gained attention for parodying the October 10 protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Developed by independent creators using AI assistance, the game lets players choose to be protesters or police, navigating barricades and obstacles reflecting real-life protest challenges. Featuring pixel-art graphics and arcade-style gameplay, it simulates crowd-building, police evasion, and detentions, drawing from recent events where protesters were barred from the site. The game is described as a fun experiment rather than a serious development.
