Bern Out

Bern Out is a controversial indie 3D shooting/adventure game released for the PC through Steam's Greenlight program, though it was released on its own locally. It was developed by Hexxus Studios, a female-run collective based in Colorado, and funded and published through the independent archival record label Final Notice Records. The game was built using the Ampersand Engine, a graphics/audio/physics middleware suite created by Rise Software, sold on their website. Hexxus promoted the game as the first professional title to be produced by an entirely female development team.

The game has garnered immense controversy for its vitriolic depiction of the communist party and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and was taken off of Steam.

Gameplay/Plot
The game is set in an alternative timeline, where Bernie Sanders wins the 2016 election and brings forth a communist dictatorship. You play a nameless hero who sets out to kill Sanders and other communists.

Reception
The game received mixed reviews. While the gameplay was considered to be the highlight of the game, its hateful message toward Bernie Sanders and the communist party was met with scorn. Hexxus has been considered to be aligned with the alt-right and white supremacist movement, but they've denied these comparisons, claiming that minorities have also worked on the game and that they've shown vocal resentment toward Richard Spencer.
