You won't be surprised to hear how relatable I find this, but hopefully it's still good to hear it :) But man, this really captures effectively how surreal it is to be creating media for entertainment while such terrible things are going on in the world. I really appreciate that you created this experience, and it provides some meaningful actions people can take around this important issue too!
This game is heavy, but it absolutely conveys the very real mental feeling of going through the relatively mundane process of making video games and living a life of safety while a lot of awful human suffering is happening elsewhere.
It's effective and appropriately doesn't pull any punches here. The way the game continues to play the audio coverage while you play through and go through your "day to day" actions, not to mention that the audio captions are literally surrounding your play space, it's a well done metaphor for capturing the cognitive dissonance between everyday normal life and the terrible suffering happening in Palestine.
I appreciate this game. It highlights an important message that we should do more for the Palestinian people that very much need help.
This game was very very powerful, thank you for making it Ed. It has compelled me to also write about the war and my anger towards zionists who commit genocide in the name of the state of Israel. As a Jew, it fills me with disgust to see the state of Israel continue to use my faith as a shield against its war crimes. It is repugnant, and I think you captured some very powerful feelings in this piece. Palestine will be free.

A very powerful experience. The dissonance of the main text and the sounds/text that surround the scenarios is really effective.
