Abstract	:	<i>Ahistoric</i> is an absurdist game that merges the characters, art, and locations of revolutions and revolts from different places and times. The game world is a fractured urban landscape that takes place in time as much as in space, drawing from cultures and conflicts from Occupy and the Arab Spring, to the student and worker uprisings of May 1968, or the October Revolution. Play takes place inside a ghost city, populated only by the player and the memories of previous players. Every element of the game will be saved as the game ends. The next player explores this new world. Every playthrough - like history itself - is an act of historiography, rebellion, and re-writing. Players can ignore, overwrite, compliment, or combat the beliefs and movements of previous players.
