We wanted to create a game to convey the experience of refugees fleeing their homes for the purpose of creating more empathy and understand what they have gone through before even reaching Europe. The game is available for mobile applications. It uses a unity framework and a spreadsheet. The steps of the journey are represented by cards which present you with a situation where you have to make a choice by swiping left or right to get to the next situation. Furthermore, you have to keep an eye on your health, sanity and money stats to make it to safety. The narrative covers the journey of Joram who flees Syria with his wife and daughter and is based on reasearched reports by real refugees.
