Metapet Natalie Bookchin’s Metapet is a game almost designed to make you stop playing, or at least to stop playing "properly". You take the role of the corporate manager of a bio-engineered, "transgenic virtual pet." "Your challenge," says the game site, is to "discover the right balance between a firm hand and a gentle coax without ever losing sight of the bottom line." Played according to the apparent rules, the game proceeds by the manager encouraging—or, really, disciplining—the Metapet, in order to make its activity as profitable as possible (you feed it, let it rest, give it drugs, perform genetic tests on it, and so on).
