Have you ever wondered how you (YES YEW) are supposed to act in the glorious nation of England? Now you can with Pathway's very own Choose Your Own Adventure! This game for 11-18 year olds teaches the valuable lesson of avoiding potentially harmful idealogies and online content.
This game was funded by the UK Government to be played in schools. The logos you see at the top are East Riding, Hull City Council and ShoutoutUK.

The contents of this game (as can be seen later) say otherwise. This game was created to combat right wing extremism and to educate kids on radicalization. Furthermore, your character spends a lot of time online, as the game teaches kids how to report and ignore harmful videos and forum posts. All of this information can be found in this nifty teaching guide which was distributed to teachers.Shout Out UK (SOUK) is a multi-award winning creative social enterprise on a mission to defend and amplify democracy by ensuring all citizens understand how their government functions through political literacy, are inoculated from disinformation and misinformation through media literacy and are given a chance to have a say in how their country is run through our own youth voice platform and various programmes.
In this game, you play as either a black haired boy named Charlie, or a brunette girl named Charlie. Don't worry about the decision though, the devs were too lazy to change the pronoun of your character and will refer to you as "they" no matter what. Anyways, you play as Charlie, a college kids who must navigate through the dangerous world of the internet and your local college. Your character must react and decide based on a series of scenarios where your character encounters potentially harmful materials. These scenarios are laughably retarded. For instance, Charlie overhears his friend saying that the reason a brown student in their class recieved a higher grade is because she's apart of the White Replacement conspiracy.
What's interesting is that there's a bar which shows how much of a good British citizen you are, red meaning badthink, and green meaning good britcattle.
Many people have pointed out the thinly veiled threats towards free speech and free thought that the government makes through this game such as deducting points for "researching immigration statistics." In fact, the game reminds you that downloading and STREAMING dangerous content can lead to a "terrorist offence conviction." This is in line with previous stories of Englishmen in the Yookay catching charges for posting racist memes to Facebook.
Game over chud. You've been sent to "Prevent and Channel." The class for anti-wrongspeak.
If you're wondering why anyone even gives a fuck, it's because in one of the 6 episodic scenarios, you encounter a close friend named "Amelia."
She is drawn with purple hair, a black choker, and a purple overcoat. For many chuds online, she has become a symbol for British rights. It's baffling that the creators decided to depict the racist as an attractive artsy alt-girl and not some ugly chudette.
