Gunpoint Sojourners

With the ukraine war and the palestinian genocide I’ve been thinking a lot about war lately. Now there’s the expansion of the conflict into Lebanon and it doesn’t look like things are going to stop anytime soon.

There is a lot of media out there that covers these events in a completely dehumanising way. It feels normal. The stories are cold. The data is just numbers.

So I’ve crystallized my emotions into this tiny experience. It’s about normal people.

I hope you like it.

«You see the shadow of a hitchhiker ahead. He looks tired. You decide to stop.
You open the door. He looks at the gun you have at the dashboard. He hesitates.
With his tired eyes he tells you he wants to cross the border. He means no harm.
You take him in.»

This is a solo game developed for the LD56 jam with the theme "tiny creatures". Here's the entry.

Thank you.
