Cancel Me – A browser game which parodies dark cancellation patterns

Turns the agony of canceling a subscription into an easy-to-digest, slightly vicious joke — the landing copy and single-click 'Start Game' flow telegraph the concept immediately. It's a neat little demo for calling out manipulative UX, but it's mostly a novelty and would benefit from more varied levels or concrete examples to make it stick beyond a five-minute laugh.
