I found this short game few days ago and had fun during those minutes of playing so it has my recommendations :)
Why?
First, it is short, some even wouldn.t call it a game :)
Second, it is educational in an interesting way: your task is to disturb peace and make division between people of a small idyllic town.

According to its makers

The goal of the game is to expose the tactics and manipulation techniques that are used to mislead people, build up a following or exploit societal tensions for political purposes.

The game has 4 short levels and covers just some very basic techniques of manipulation but for those who were never thinking deeper and wider about communications on Internet (and other media) it can be useful.
It is very simplified and pale picture of what is really happening on forums, social media, comment sections... but gives people starting point to analyze those for themselves.

Developers claim that the game

...improves peoples` ability to spot manipulation techniques....and reduces their willingness to share manipulative content with people in their network.

So, by playing a villain, you are becoming a better person :D

Ofc, like any other knowledge, this one also can be used for creation or destruction.
