Laugh Track

Laugh Track is a narrative-focused visual novel that takes the comforting familiarity of a television sitcom and gradually transforms it into something far more unsettling. Developed and published by Fiction Factory Games, it casts the player as the lead writer of Juno's World, a seemingly cheerful show revolving around four teenagers: Juno, Cat, Daniel, and Remy. Instead of merely watching their lives unfold, the player is responsible for shaping their experiences in ways that keep the fictional audience entertained.

[b]you know what they're talking about.[/b] you feel it. you suffer it. and you wish you didnt. or maybe you wish others would suffer it too. if this doesn't radicalise you, i dont know what will. relating more or less to specific characters of the main cast really depends on your situation, but honestly? [b]all of them are understandable[/b], and all of them suffer in a similar form. because our oppression is all connected [i]but to me remy was just the best.[/i] i love remy. they were written for me fr fr. they hold the power of a thousand suns. they also crash and burn like one, which is really cool and totally not a lesson the…
