The game

In Hyper-butter, Mana-batteries four teams explore the politics and economics of the New Order energy abundance by taking on the role of either The Democratic Federation, New Iceland, Mercenary Corporation, or P2P Mob. Each team represents a modus operandi and approach to energy abundance. Through the game Herregraven and Lee aim to catalyze reflection on conflicts that could emerge when the global competition for limited energy resources becomes a non-issue.
