Description
A dystopian satire about the dangers of the opposite sex, the fight for survival, and the search for acceptance.
The post-apocalypse is not what you've heard. Coriatown has no crime, no violence and no women. But it's not a utopia for all.
When the Babybirds deliver a mutilated baby boy, seventeen-year-old outcast Quinn - the only ginger in town - is blamed. He has to choose between life in a cage, or brave the crocs, the sharks and the perils of the Deadlands in search of proof he's not the danger they think he is.
The only hope? Womansplainer - A Virtual Reality video-game created by eccentric Professor Shepperton Winstanley, a self-proclaimed woman expert.
But the game has dangers of its own and an unseen force seems bent on keeping Quinn and Coriatown in the dark.
Quinn must dive into Winstanley's world to; solve the puzzles, fight the monsters, collect the Knowledge Balls and unravel man's greatest mystery, woman.
For fans of Ready Player One and The Hunger Games, Womansplainer is a wild, darkly funny coming of age adventure, with a vibrant video-game world and a utopian society on the brink of collapse.
Advance Praise
A genre-blending dystopian sci-fi satire about gender warfare and the search for acceptance.
The post-apocalypse is not what you've heard; Coriatown has no crime, no violence and no women. But it's not a utopia for all. When the Babybirds deliver a mutilated boy and Quinn - the only ginger in town - is blamed, he has no choice but to brave the crocs, the sharks and the perils of the Deadlands to find proof he's not the danger they think he is.
The only hope? A VR game created by the eccentric Professor Shepperton Winstanley, a self-proclaimed woman expert. Quinn must dive into 'Winstanley's World', to solve the puzzles, learn the lessons, fight the monsters and unravel man's greatest mystery, woman.
Womansplainer is a wild, offbeat satire of gender, society and video-games. For fans of Ready Player One and The Hunger Games, with a jolt of dark comedy and VR adventures.
