War broke out. You have 30 seconds. What will you pack? What if you’re not fast enough and your life is at stake? What if you see misinformation online? And what if you’re standing on the other side of the barricade and propaganda is forcing you to do horrible things?
About the initiative
Some write articles, some document current events, some donate their time and resources. We make video games. And those aren’t just for fun anymore. They help us understand experiences and ordeals we have never had to go through in real life. The aim of our initiative is to paint a picture of what the situation of our eastern neighbour is like.
Games
What is it like to live in the war-torn Ukraine? Is it even possible not to fall for misinformation? How to spot it? And what are the thoughts of an occupying soldier?
Play our games or recommend them to people around you. All the games are free, but we will be thankful if, through an organisation of your choice, you decide to financially support those that need money the most – the people of Ukraine.
