OIC: Obviously Inappropriate Content is a story-rich adventure game sets in a fictional Eastern-bloc country, where the player, as a game tester, must censor a developing game under government regulation. Developed by Shane Hou with inspiration from 'Papers, Please', 'Metal Slug', and ‘Orwell’, OIC explores the origins and development of video game censorship, and how it might affect the video game industry and our society.

The story takes place in a fictional Eastern-bloc country called Belkasvenia. The player plays as a game tester hired by a local game company called "Last Life Left Game Studio", and his/her weekly job is to test a 2D action-shooter game called “Ural Death Machine” which is under development. If he/she discovers any bug or anything that violates the censorship regulations, he/she must take a screenshot and report it.

The total testing period is six months. One pass of testing a level of the game represents one week of testing. At the start and end of each working day, the player can check their emails, interact on social media with their work colleagues, and find out the news. In this way the player is updated on the effects their work has on the company, the events in the outside world that will affect the pressures on their job, and the changing attitude and censorship regulations of the government.
