Summary/Abstract: The article presents knowledge in the field of child psychology in reference to social dysfunction in society on two video games produced by the Swedish studio Killmonday Games. The game „Fran Bow” from 2015 and „Little Misfortune” from 2019 were subject to content analysis. Based on both productions, it was shown how children can perceive events taking place in society. An attempt was also made to prove that video games have influence on the results of the actions of recipients with problems, with the effectiveness of action on children and the harmful impact on social phenomena.
