Total Katastrophe is a branding and marketing youtube channel of graphic design tutorials catering specifically to gamers who stream content online in places like Twitch, Mixer or Youtube. This is an emerging demographic of mostly younger users from all over the world. I noticed a need for this project while watching many videos of this kind and seeing great content, poorly realised. I hope to help other creators take-off faster with my help, as well as seeing my channel grow beyond SAE major project into something I can hopefully monetize later.

Butchery is a social deduction card game based on an informed minority, an uninformed majority, and cannibalism. At the beginning of the game, each player is assigned one of three roles: Butcher, Inspector, or Livestock. The livestock are in the majority, but they don’t know who is who - a fellow citizen could easily turn out to be the villain of the game and send you to the slaughterhouse! The game is a blend of print and digital, using both physical cards and an accompanying app.

The rock smashes through the first prisoner to reveal that the poor man pushing the boulder is, in fact, an executioner.
