Even in the impossible scenario in which this was a game, how would they even be able to outdo themselves after making Slavery: The Game? I'm trying to imagine the press release they might make and I just don't see it happening.

If they would make a serious slavery game (one where your a runaway slave) where you free other slaves, scrounging for weapons and food.

So yeah... I thought I should check the site just to see how dumb this is... The age verification screen, considering the context, made me think that I was going to regret this...
You bet I do.
I actually feel sick, like stomach pain after seeing something horrifically grotesque. I did not expect that and don't think I can sleep now.
And yeah, this is gonna get messy the moment the press gets hold of it.
EDIT: Whoa... they claim its the work of the Total War studio? Does anyone have a grudge against them?

Would the Total War studio use GoDaddy as a domain registrar? I doubt it.
It looks to me like a joke, at the very most a misguided 'things were so bad back then' type of educational thing.

I'd buy Murmaider: The Game.
I thought this thread was funny until I actually checked the link in the OP, that video is uh, pretty nasty.
It is interesting how certain themes within specific historical periods just cannot be approached for games and yet other, more recent events get over-exposed (modern day conflicts, the bajillion WW2 games).
The outfit allegedly responsible for this also appears to be a sham. The first hit in a Google search for “Javelin Reds” gaming takes you to a page of anagrams. (A commenter on The Escapist pointed out that “Javelin Reds” is an anagram for “De Slavernij,” which is Dutch for “(the) slavery.”) The phone number listed at the bottom is a Louisville, Ky. area code that connects you to a redialler, which goes to a voicemail for “Javelin Reds Gaming”. The URL was registered through GoDaddy. In other words, fake.
Final tip this is a troll? Wilhelm scream at 0:20.
Taken from Kotaku. I believe it's fake too. Don't see the point. Either racists or a misguided attempt at education like others said I guess.

Everything about this makes me laugh.
The idea, the execution, the people thinking they can get away with it, the outrage.
It's basically "Troll: The game".

Eh, it wouldn't be the first time a video game is made about human suffering. This just hits closer to home.

Precious few games encourage the murder of mermaids. It's a totally untapped market.
In case any of you can't read Dutch, here's Babelfish's translation:
A part of the Dutch history, which we all but what gladly would forget, is slavery. The Netherlands realm has become with the slave trade. For this reason the NTR want put this black page in the Dutch history in light and 5 a documentary break have made which concerns slavery and the real history of the Netherlands. THE PR campaign went of start with the launching of the trailer of Slavery: The Game, a non-existent game which put the subject in one go on the card. Researcher give more explanation concerning the serial which goes on 18 September of start on the NTR … to Lyangelo Vasquez

A bit of MGS3, a bit of Condemned... I'd be interested in that, actually.
Would you go open world Elder Scrolls style, or linear?

Open world.
Add a bit of first person RTS in there, commanding groups of freed slaves to hold off attacks from the KKK while you free more slaves.
You bet I do.

Paranoia would suggest it's some weird anti-gaming group trying to say something.
Common sense suggests trolls.

Seems like a pretty unusual PR stunt.
Is the show supposed to promote slavery, or show it in a historical light?
Either way, I'll be surprised if they don't catch any flak at all for this.
