Delhi protests inspire online games featuring protesters and police chases

The Jantar Mantar protests in Delhi have sparked the creation of several free online video games that gamify protest scenarios. Players can gather virtual crowds, dodge water cannons, and engage in police chases as part of the gameplay.

These games allow users to experience protest dynamics in a digital format, with mechanics centered around the interactions between demonstrators and security forces. The games have emerged as a cultural response to the prominent demonstrations at the Delhi landmark.

The titles reference the protest atmosphere, with one appearing to play on the phrase 'run protest, run,' inviting players to step into the roles of both protesters and police. These indie-style games have been made available free to the public online.
