Author's description:
IKEA. We've all been there and now you relive your experiences in the game. "The Church of Retail" or "Saturday Hell"? A favorite destination for all life's great turning points - leaving home, moving, bringing home a new baby, or when divorce or death suddenly leaves you stranded. Maybe IKEA isn't as soulless as it looks in the catalog...
IKEA is a free-form small comedy where characters experience a day of "The Church of Retail" or "Saturday Hell", depending on their temperament. The game is structured in scenes that bring out secret inner thoughts while the characters ostensibly are only trying to find that special off-white furniture set that will complete the room.
And as with most things from IKEA, with this scenario some assembly is required.
