The Final Exam challenges the false narrative that video games cause gun violence by educating players on life-saving gun legislation and holding elected officials accountable to change. Built upon data gleaned from past school shootings, the game offers a hyper-realistic survival experience set in an American high school, immersing players in the urgent fight against gun violence. According to The New Yorker, The Final Exam represents an unprecedented approach in the gun control sector, tapping into the gaming audience for the first time and empowering a new generation to push for gun reform.
