The latest source code (should also compile on Linux): Any questions or suggestions about the game are best directed to the forums, linked below. We still love it, but it’s pretty unfriendly to new players. Its interface is an artifact of cancerous feature creep on top of the clunky 1983 game Oubliette. Please note that LCS is unbalanced, unfair, unfriendly, and inappropriate. They last updated the game in 2004 I picked the source code up in 2007, and in collaboration with more than a dozen programmers and writers from the community, we have managed to release intermittent updates since then. LCS was originally created as a side project by Tarn and Zach Adams (Bay 12 Games), the brothers behind Dwarf Fortress. You play as the founder of a left-wing terrorist cell devoted to saving the United States from its descent into Conservative Insanity though writing to newspapers, volunteering, playing protest music, seduction, flag burning, graffiti, hacking, kidnapping, torture, murder, brainwashing, and other common and uncommon activist activities. Liberal Crime Squad is a satirical open-source text-based modern strategic political RPG with bad pickup lines and bad graphics. It does not represent my political views.Ĭheck out jefmajor’s full Let’s Play of LCS and other games on his YouTube channel You can, of course, also steal cars and cash to get around and to lubricate interactions with others, as these will become important parts of furthering the liberal cause as you progress.Liberal Crime Squad is a game. You can also kidnap and brainwash numerous people, causing them to become 'sleepers' within their respective jobs, fighting for the liberal cause from the inside. You can also make T-shirts for fun and profit, and also to spread your liberal word far and wide. First of all, you can free sweatshop workers and destroy the machinery to cut into the conservatives' budget. There are a number of ways to persuade the people in power to see things liberally. You and your liberal squadmates 'win' when your state's laws and regulations are rated L+ (Elite liberal) and the Government is Elite Liberal as well, and lose if the conservatives persuade those politicians to see things their way, and create a fascist police state (C+) where Reagan is god.

under the iron fist of a fascist government! Along the way, your noble cause will be opposed by many, including the police, extreme conservatives, and the nefarious Conservative Crime Squad (we also need a slogan!), who just want everyone to be safe and happy. Picture a world where Political Cartoons are the truth - now, imagine that world erupting into civil war.Īs the name implies, Liberal Crime Squad is a game about committing crimes in the name of the Liberal Cause (we need a slogan!), in the interests of making the world a freer and more tolerant place.
