Players will interactively navigate this journey through various prompts from different perspectives including War/Pain/Fear/Hate within Imperialism and Colonialization experiences during times of war-torn states in the US or other places affected by similar conflict situations for 1 player to survive as a marginalized person living under oppressive conditions, where life is often determined not only what you have but who are your allies.
