Description

Life is meaningless! Maybe you need some kind of ism to attempt to ward off the inevitable and unavoidable despair! Here, have some isms made of snakes! Life is still meaningless but now you have a bunch of snakes as well! Thank me later!

SNAKISMS is an attempt to adapt the classic mobile-phone game Snake into a series of “philosophical positions.” From a CAPITALISM version of the game to an EXISTENTIALIST version, and so on.
