What is a new tribute to Snowden?
If you’ve ever wondered what it must feel like to be the world’s most famous whistleblower, here’s your chance to find out. Of course, you won’t become a wanted man for smuggling thousands of classified files, but this virtual experience gives you some insight into his life.
Snowden’s Leaks: The Game allows you to control and play as Edward Snowden, the man now charged with espionage after handing over to the media information about the National Security Agency’s data collecting programs, reports Mashable. Using flash drives, you must steal NSA secrets, hide from security agents and cameras, and even avoid the President! Once the flash drive has been thrown away and Edward escapes, the level ends.
The Dutch team posted on Newgrounds that it took them only three days to create the game. Though a simple one, it is highly addictive, and has captivated the imagination of users worldwide. There’s something about Edward’s sneaky looks and sniggers that make you want to keep playing.
Of course, the real Snowden is still at the Moscow Airport, fleeing extradition back to the United States. We do wonder if he likes the video game.
