Must play

After seeing live action footage of this for years, you can become desensitized. At this point, when I see photos and videos, I have no emotions left to feel. I just feel hopeless and empty inside.
Somehow, seeing these now-everyday events in a different medium unlocked a hidden reserve of emotions. I cried for the first time in a year after completing this game.

Brainwashing for Children

This is not a game!
It is a propaganda tool designed to brainwash children.
In the opening scene it claims the events in the game are based on real events.
Then, with no context, explanations, or balance, it shows civilians and children being killed.
This app has no place on App Store and should not be easily accessible to children. Kids have no understanding of politics, and one-sided messaging like this pushes them toward false information, or even encourages support for dangerous ideologies like terrorism

Wow

Omg 🙁

I’m not sure how to explain this but

The setting, the monochrome, and the narrative come together to form a very heartbreaking picture of the horrors Palestinians unfortunately still face today. Its short but very impactful. The mechanics and choices presented incite a sense of fear, despair and anxiety from the threat of death looming at every corner. And real statistics for tragedies that are included in the game are also shown.
