Menagerie II: Presentable Liberty is a 2014[‡ 1][a] indie psychological horror video game made by Robert "Wertpol" Brock as a part of the Menagerie series. In the game, the player is trapped in a jail cell which (for the majority of the game) they cannot leave. Instead, the player's interaction is mainly limited to reading letters sent to them and playing games to entertain themself.
Presentable Liberty received positive reviews for its story and minimalistic approach to gameplay,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and achieved moderate mainstream attention due to let's plays by popular YouTubers Markiplier[9][4][10] and Jacksepticeye.[11] The game's plot, involving a deadly virus outbreak, combined with the motif of isolation, was compared by some reviewers to the COVID-19 pandemic,[11][4] although the game was released many years prior to it.
A remake of Presentable Liberty and the first entry in the Menagerie series, Exoptable Money, was planned, however, three separate Kickstarter campaigns failed to gather sufficient funding, and the remakes ceased development following Brock's death in 2018.[12]
