And ... it's in Sub Rosa, the obscure cult-like game stuck in the 80s universe of shady business dealings: https://twitter.com/crypticsea/status/1377433014674714624

For those of you who don't know it, it's a rather obscure and in some ways delightfully refreshing game, albeit populated by unsavory players worth of the Mos Eisley cantina quote taken at its face value. It's based on two things, physics-based movement and the prisoner's dilemma split three-ways.

"Deal-making, deal-breaking, and the occasional high-speed car chase." And of course, having to walk up to a computer and type MS-DOS commands to play snake. The developer plans to make the game's computer a "full 6502 or Z80 emulation so players can write their own games."
