Enclosure

The commons will soon be fenced off as private property. Can you, a simple shepherd, keep producing enough wool to make rent?

Enclosure takes place in medieval England during the onset of market capitalism. You play as a shepherd trying to earn a living while your access to public grazing land continually diminishes. The game provides a fun and accessible way to learn about the origins of capitalism and experience disenfranchisement in the face of privatization.

I designed and developed Enclosure over the course of a week using GameMaker.
