| - Tom Paine is a third-person historical, mass marketing of radical pamphlets game unleashed by Revolution Games Studio, developers of the popular, sexually-charged, textile-based, Betsy Ross: Flag Maker series and the hysteria-inducing, nocturnal open-world horse racing game, Paul Revere in The Midnight Jockey. As one of the earlier, in-game leaflets and the blurb on the back of the game's box tell us: Kick some aristocratic ass. Distribute cheap tracts. Avoid the Stamp Tax. This is Tom Paine.

| - Tom Paine is a third-person historical, mass marketing of radical pamphlets game unleashed by Revolution Games Studio, developers of the popular, sexually-charged, textile-based, Betsy Ross: Flag Maker series and the hysteria-inducing, nocturnal open-world horse racing game, Paul Revere in The Midnight Jockey. The player controls the titular character, former bra salesman turned plucky revolutionary pamphleteer, as he lobs his bourgeoisie brochures and lets loose his liberal leaflets into a series of political and social upheavals. Prod the populace toward outright rebellion with superior sentence structure, then stir that anarchic pot with word jumble puzzle pages and money saving coupons. Throughout this grassroots, guerrilla media blitz, Tom is continually threatened by the forces of illiteracy-wielding loyalist crowds, hurtful reviewers in federalist newspapers, trumped-up charges of seditious loitering and criminal use of a block printing device, not to mention some vicious paper cuts, but there are a number of powerful artifacts to help him overcome these odds. Collect new, influential viewpoints and grammatical super combos while uncovering hidden caches of acerbic wit on your mission to not only question authority, but to answer it with a firm fuck you. As one of the earlier, in-game leaflets and the blurb on the back of the game's box tell us: Kick some aristocratic ass. Distribute cheap tracts. Avoid the Stamp Tax. This is Tom Paine.
