WHY THIS GAME
At some juncture in our lives, many of us have experienced either being bullied or being the bully. It happened to us when we were younger. This is why we aimed to share a narrative that encapsulates precisely that dynamic: how effortlessly one can transition between roles and the significance of empathy in preventing harassment.
However, our intention wasn’t to approach this narrative from a standpoint of moral high ground or the typical seriousness it’s often met with. Instead, we sought to convey the story in a more relatable manner, leveraging a video game as a medium to extend its reach. Humor served as our vehicle to expedite its journey.
